In today's guitar lesson we learn how to play Gordon Lightfoot - Early Morning Rain. We cover all of the chords as well as the strumming pattern. There are only four chords in the entire song. I've also covered a few of the more advanced lead guitar parts in the recording. This song helped propel Gordon to the spotlight and is a great song to add to your repertoire.
