In today's guitar lesson we learn how to play Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad. I cover a beginner version with the chords and a simple strumming pattern as well as the exact picking pattern from the recording. This was from the album of the same name and was more of a folk based and acoustic record.
