"Beginnings" by Chicago | Guitar Lesson

Brief lesson on an iconic track from Chicago [Transit Authority]'s 1st album.
Disclaimer: There are many voicings Terry Kath, Keith Howland, and the various guitarists of Chicago have used for this song - sometimes interchangeably every performance. I may do another video where I break these variations down, but as far as codifying it to a single choice, this will get you through the song extremely accurately.

Short and sweet … perfect. Thanks.

[@danielordorica5857]

Awesome! You simplified it a lot. I used to play way harder chords. Thanks.

[@JeffreyMetcalfe]

The first song I ever sang professionally in front of a crowd! Thanks Bill!

[@Jslav-jj2xq]

Well done sir, right to the point

[@markchristopher4165]

Yes! Great little lesson

[@Bill.Worrell.Official]

Glad you liked it!

[@robertwarrenburg2971]

Great lesson, straight to the point just what I needed. Thank you!

[@Bill.Worrell.Official]

You're welcome!

Dude, that sounds great! Definitely on the setlist for my next jam with a few of my buddies...well, our version won't have the horn section, there's only 4 of us! Thanks for posting.

Really liked this. Clean and straightforward. Not for beginners but perfect for intermediate level and above. Can’t wait to play this on my 12-string. Just subscribed.

[@Bill.Worrell.Official]

Thanks for the subscribe! Glad you're inspired to play - that's the goal! Yes, you're right: there's a certain amount of proficiency viewers should have, especially because I was trying to keep it short and sweet. Perhaps I'll add a disclaimer :). Cheers and thanks again!

The chords are easy! It would have been cool if you showed how to play the rhythm with your right hand.

[@jeanmorna3626]

7 major .

[@Billsingsong]

Could’ve been a great lesson, but you’re going way too fast and explaining how to do the chords. Please slow down, redo the video and explain how to make the chords. Thank you.

[@michaelstrong4956]

Don't sweat the chords, just make a note as to what chords he mentions and look them up on TH-cam, they're mostly Major 7th chords and they're pretty much movable all around the fretboard... dude, you got this!
