Learn how to play Cat Stevens – Rubylove note-for-note on guitar.

Difficulty level: Advanced

Bar Chords: Yes

Thumb-over Chords: No

Playing Style: Strummed

Tuning: Open D

The lesson covers Cat’s acoustic guitar part (not the bouzouki part). The full lesson is broken into sections corresponding to the different sections of the recording. The preview video shows the introduction taken from the full lesson. The left hand part is not difficult but it qualifies as advanced because of the unconventional rhythm. It’s in a regular strum pattern of 7 beats to the bar. The structure is also surprisingly complex.

The complete file contains 4 lesson videos, a performance play thru video, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lessons which will download as a zip file of 318 Mb containing all the lesson content.

    Masterfully tabbed. A must-buy. You won’t find a better arrangement anywhere than this here which is as close to the originally recorded version as you will ever get. Be warned, though, that the song structure and rhythm is difficult to learn even for advanced (western) players due to the nature of the song and despite being fantastically laid out in the tab and instructional videos. The guitar tab could make the song structure a little cleaner (too much jumping around).

    Thanks for this one, Jerry,
    That 7/8 rythm is really tricky to master but a fun challenge
    A truly brilliant song, even without the bouzouki accompaniment!
