Donovan – The Trip

Learn how to play Donovan – The Trip note-for-note on guitar.
Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Barre Chords: No
Thumb-Over Chords: No
Playing Style: Fingerpicked (Travis picked)
Tuning: Standard
The lesson teaches the introduction as played on the album version. After this point the original recording is backed by a full band with no acoustic guitar. This lesson assumes that the song would continue in the picking style of the intro. I’ve created picking patterns for verse and chorus in the style of Donovan’s approach to the intro of this song and the similar-sounding accompaniment to House of Jansch.
