How to Play "Take Me Home, Country Roads" on Guitar for Beginners
In this beginner guitar lesson you will learn how to play “Take Me Home, Country Roads” on the acoustic guitar.
Country Roads is a great acoustic guitar song that you definitely want to learn as a guitar player. It has been covered by many artists over the years, but was originally written and performed by John Denver. It was released on April 12, 1971, and peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
The song only has four chords through the verse and only one additional chord in the bridge making it simple to play on acoustic guitar. In this lesson I will show you the chords you need, but also a simpler, more beginner friendly way to play those chords on the acoustic guitar.
The strumming pattern is a little more complicated than some songs, but I will also show you a simplified version of the strumming pattern, so even if you are brand new to playing the guitar, you will be able to play this song.
