Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run (Acoustic)
Learn how to play Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run (Acoustic) note-for-note on guitar.
Difficulty Level: Version 1 – Easy. Version 2 – Intermediate
Bar Chords: Version 1 – No. Version 2 – Yes
Thumb-over Chords: Version 1 – Yes. Version 2 – No
Playing Style: Strummed
Tuning: Standard
You get two lessons with this one. Version 1 is taken from a solo acoustic version played by Springsteen in a live show, and quite different from the original. Version 2 is my arrangement of the original for acoustic guitar and is significan’tly more complex than the first version.
These preview videos contain the introduction taken from the two complete lessons for the song Born To Run.
The complete song lesson contains 2 lesson videos ( the song as-played by Bruce in his acoustic version is taught in video 1, version 2 is my arrangement sounding more like the original studio version), 2 performance play thru videos, full tabs and chords and lyrics sheet. You’ll receive a link to download the lessons which will download as 2 zip files of 180 Mb and 221 Mb containing all the lesson content.

You’ll receive at least two videos per song, one lesson and one performance-standard play-through. You’ll receive the chords/lyrics and guitar tabs as PDF files.
The videos are mp4 format and should play on PC’s, Macs and most mobile devices.
They will download as Zip files. If you don’t have a Zip program on your PC you’ll need to install one to open the file. I use Zipeg which you can get free, here.
If you want to download to an iPad or iPhone you’ll need an app to do so, please read here to know more about it.

I am trying to order Born to run Lesson and I don’t know what the coupon nunber is, can you help me?
MikeCee says
This is not one I would have thought of, but got it and had a look through the playthru and getting excited at learning to play this. I can see this being a fun one to learn and be able to play at friend/family gatherings as almost everyone will know the chorus line for a singalong. Thanks again Jerry, realising these lessons as you do them is a great way to go, thanks, Mike
Jerry says
Thanks for that Mike. Born To Runs wasn’t such an obvious choice, you’re right, but it can be a lot of fun to play.
Cheers
Jerry
