While My Guitar Gently Weeps Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my While My Guitar Gently Weeps chords and guitar lesson by The Beatles. Such a great Beatles song. I have two video lessons below to play this song in two different ways.
Video one goes through the song and minimizes the use of barre chords, bass walkdowns and simplifies the strumming.
Video two goes more in depth on how to approach different sections of the song including how to incorporate some picking to change the feel to sound more like the recording.
