Torn Barre Chord Version Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Torn chords and guitar lesson by Natalie Imbruglia barre chord version.
This version is the way I believe the song is played on the record. It's also how I would play the song if I were performing it live.
The use of barre chords allows you to get really percussive with your strumming and it really helps the song come to life.
If you are working on your barre chords, you should definitely give this song a go. If you hate barre chords and want and easier option, check out my no barre chord version here.
