Knockin On Heavens Door Intro Acoustic Guitar Lesson

Here is an acoustic guitar lesson on how we play the intro of Knockin On Heavens Door. This is the second lesson on this song. Our version is a combination of the Guns n Roses version and the Bob Dylan version. This lesson has been done by James from the acoustic duo "Handsome Alvin", please check out our cover of this and other songs at:

I really like the way you show all the needed chords first. as a beginner this helps me to actually practice them so i can play the song faster. and u explain in 5 minutes what other need hours for.

THX!

@educationalmaterials Thanks for the video i've watched both videos, please can you tell me if this is right. intro (G D Dsus2 Am) (G D Dsus2 G) (G D Dsus2 Am) (G D Dsus2 G) Verse (G D Am Am) (G D C C) (G D Am Am) (G D C C) (G D Am Am) (G D C C) (G D Am Am) (G D C C) Chorus (G D C C) (G D C C) (G D C C) (G D C C) Is that the end or do i repeat anything? thanks for your help and I thought the cover was great.

I have watched EVERY tutorial on this song on Youtube. Yours is the ONLY ONE that both had a decent strumming pattern AND made the strumming pattern clear to the beginner. Thanks for actually demonstrating this song and for clearly displaying the chords and the strumming pattern you were using.
