John Prine – Paradise Guitar Lesson Info
Learn how to play John Prine – Paradise note-for-note on guitar with our John Prine – Paradise Guitar Lesson.
John Prine’s Paradise is a warm, homespun song built on a simple strummed accompaniment in the key of D. The guitar part is straightforward and perfect for early intermediate players, with picked bass notes giving it that classic folk feel.Throughout the lesson we’ll look at how John keeps the rhythm flowing with an easy strum pattern. We’ll look at how he varies that pattern and we’ll add a couple of tasteful little licks he uses to lift the arrangement and keep it interesting. They’re not difficult, but they’re satisfying to play and bring the song to life.
If you enjoy relaxed country-folk accompaniment with a few melodic touches along the way, this one’s a pleasure to learn and even better to sing along with.
