In today's acoustic guitar lesson, we learn how to play "Holding Back the Years" by Simply Red. In this drop-D tuning arrangement, we can play some beautiful open chords such as Dm9 and G without too much trouble to capture some of the depth and beauty this huge 80's hit contains. I also cover some of the keyboard fills as well as a chord melody arrangement.
