Hey guitar enthusiasts, I have a great song here by Stevie Nicks called The Edge of Seventeen. Requires 3 chords to play this chorus section. If you go to my lesson on YouTube, I'll teach you how to play the really cool, uh, intro, the little guitar riff that goes underneath this. But we're going to be using chords. We're going to be using a C chord, we're going to use a D chord, and we're going to use the E minor chord. Okay, and our strumming pattern for this is just going to be all downs. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. All right, all downs, and we're going to be focusing on like the darker side of the chords. We're not going to be strumming the whole chord, just focusing on those bass notes. So it'll sound something like this. Just like a white-winged dove sings a song, sounds like she's singing. Ooh baby, ooh say ooh. Just like a white-winged dove sings a song, sounds like she's singing. Ooh baby, ooh say ooh.
