In My Life Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my In My Life chords and guitar lesson by The Beatles. This is such a great song and it has some really cool parts to it.

This In My Life guitar lessons will show you the intro lines and strumming patterns needed to impress family and friends.

The song does feature a couple of barre chords, so I would not recommend the full song for beginners.

Let's take a look below.

In My Life Guitar Chords:

In My Life Strumming Patterns:

Strumming Pattern Split Measures:
1 2 +  3 4 +
DDU  D DU

Strumming Pattern Full Measures:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
D   DU    U DU

Strumming Pattern Bridge: alternate with Full Measure Pattern

The intro section of the song can be fingerpicked. I like to hybrid picking with the pick in my hand for the bass note and then fingerpicking the melody notes. This allows me to have my pick ready to strum the rest of the song.
