My Sweet Lord Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my My Sweet Lord chord chart by George Harrison. This is definitely a little bit more of an intermediate to advanced song only due to the plethora of guitar used here. We got lots of barre chords and lots of diminished chords and just a whole bunch of variety with a key change and everything. Wow!

Phew….thanks George. George was my favorite Beatle by the way 😉
