Editor’s notes
In this lesson, I’ll teach you how to play a fingerstyle version of “Havana” by Camila Cabello. This song only uses 3 chords, but has a fantastic Latin sound that is fun to practice on guitar – even if you’ve never heard this song before. I’ll show these chords (with tabs), and break down how to practice things step by step.
