Lauren Bateman teaches Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine" on solo guitar using just three chords: A minor, E minor, and G major. She plays only upstrokes while muting downstrokes with her palm, and walks through the opening rhythm count. Beginners can pick this one up fast.
Hey Guitar Enthusiasts! Gonna show you a simple song here by Bill Withers called Ain't No Sunshine, and it's gonna be very simple in terms of the chords. We have an A minor chord, an E minor chord, and a G major chord. Now we're gonna keep the strumming very, very simple on this. So the strumming pattern we're gonna use is an all up strums, okay? So we're not gonna be playing anything on the down strum, okay? It's gonna be 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, and all the down strums, all I'm doing is I'm just resting my palm on the strings. To me, them. So for the first start of the song, the first measure, it's going to be 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1. So what is this going to sound like? Ain't no sunshine when she's gone. It's not warm when she's away.
