Richie Havens – Freedom

Richie Havens – Freedom

Learn how to play Richie Havens – Freedom note-for-note on guitar.

Difficulty level: Intermediate. The chord shapes are easy but the strum pattern is in fast 16thnotes. Note that the main lesson teaches the song in standard tuning which isn’t how Richie Havens plays it, but a separate video shows his (much more difficult) approach.

Barre chords: ​Yes (partial barre)

Thumb over chords: No

Playing Style: Strummed

Tuning: Standard

The full lesson contains 3 video lessons. The first is the main lesson, in standard tuning using ‘normal’ chord shapes. The second is a lesson on the technique for the fast strumming required for this song. The third is a short video showing the actual tuning and chord shapes used by Richie Havens for those who want to try them. They’re extremely difficult to form if you’re a conventionally-taught guitarist, but they’re included here if you want to try it Richie’s way.

The complete file contains 3 lesson videos, a performance play thru video, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lesson which will download as a zip file of 218 Mb containing all the lesson content.
