In today's guitar lesson we learn how to play "I Don't Live Here Anymore" by The War on Drugs. Amazingly, this song only has two chords, G and A. However, we have a variety of electric riffs that appear throughout the song. I show you how to play these riffs in isolation and also how to play them combined with the chords.
