Drink A Beer Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Drink a Beer chord chart by Luke Bryan. This is a great song. There are some intermediate picking things that happen in the intro that I’m not going to cover in this chord chart.
If I work out a video lesson, I would be more than happy to go over that.
The chords in his are pretty easy.
I could recommend using:
The 4 fingered G (320033) chord to go a long with the Cadd9 (X32033)for a brighter sound. If you have no clue what I’m talking about, a regular C and G will work perfectly fine. In the intro, the G chord he uses is more like a Dsus2/G (3X0230) and the C chord is more like a Dsus2/C (X@0230).
