California Dreamin - The Mamas & The Papas (Easy Songs Beginner Guitar Lesson BS-704) How to play

In this guitar lessons you will learn how to play California Dreaming by The Mamas & The Papas. It's a Stage 7 song, so still for beginners but getting a little more complex with more interesting chords and strumming patterns. Very good grower this one, can be played quite simple or developed to play more like the recording with a more complex rhtyhm pattern and pushed chords.

Before people ask, the intro sounds a little different to the recording cos on the original there is more than one guitar playing. I was working on an arrangement of them together to make it sound more like the record but them decided to keep it simple!!

Justin, I'm looking for some jazz numbers to perform for my A Level performance and so they need to be grade 6+. Could you post a lesson on Joe Pass' version of Autumn Leaves from the 'Unforgettable' album? It would be very appreciated. Also if you know any other jazz numbers of that standard it would be helpful :-)

Turning 52 in another month, so the old classics bring back lifetime memories. Have had an electric for 25 years but your vids help promote continued play and advancement. Well done; thanks.
