"We're Going To Be Friends" Guitar Lesson + Tutorial | Easiest Fingerpicking Song On Guitar

Learn how to play "We're Going To Be Friends" by The White Stripes. This is one of the easiest fingerstyle songs on guitar. It's an easy 3-chord song with a 2-finger pattern that repeats the whole time. The bridge has 1 extra chord, but it's SUPER easy, just like the others. You could almost play this song with 1 finger on each hand, it's THAT simple! ► "Fingerpicking Mastery" covers everything from the most basic motions to the most useful fingerstyle patterns on guitar: https://goodguitarist.com/fingerpicki... ► Grab your copy of my FREE E-BOOK! https://goodguitarist.com/learn-rhyth... ► Need help with the basic chords and strumming? My beginner guitar course will help you build a solid foundation one step at a time: https://goodguitarist.com/beginner-gu... There aren't too many chords in this one, it's mostly G C and D, with a Cadd9 (even though the symbol looks crazy, it's actually a really simple fingering) and an A chord to top it off. We go over some switching tips to help you get a clean sound, and then move onto the fingerpicking. It was actually really interested for me, coming up with a way to explain this pattern. It mainly uses the thumb and 1 finger, and throughout the song the pattern varies so there's a lot of room for experimentation. I recommend using the patterns from this video, and once your comfortable I really encourage you to experiment with switching it up a bit and focusing on "feeling it" rather than playing it perfectly every time. Since the chords and pattern are so simple, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to actually enjoy yourself and get lost in the tune! I hope you have fun practicing this and good luck!
