Editor’s notes

In this lesson I’ll show you how to play “Norwegian Wood” by the Beatles, complete with a detailed breakdown of the intro riff (with tab!). I’ll teach you the chords, strumming pattern, and give some general practice advice for learning the riff - which can be difficult to get the hang of at first.
