Here’s how you really play “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” ????
Most guitarists are missing the secret ingredient in this classic:
????the inversions he used in the rhythm guitar part.
They stick to the basic chord shapes, but that’s not what gives the song its signature depth.
If your playing feels flat or lacking that magic, these are the exact moves that’ll take your music from simple to stunning.
Not a bunch of theory—just subtle shifts that make all the difference.
Songwriting masters like Harrison have been using inversions to transform their music for decades.
But most people never realize how these little adjustments change everything.
In my upcoming course, I’m breaking down how to use inversions, like Harrison did, as part of the 5 Pillars of Folk Guitar.
(Yeah, I know this song isn’t “folk” but the inversions it uses are the same as countless singer-songwriter classics)
Not only will you learn how to master inversions for folk music...
You’ll move from a beginner to a highly-stylized folk guitarist as you dive into the other Pillars:
- Expressive Pick Strumming
- Expressive Finger Strumming
- Folk Ornamentations
- Folk Chord Voicings
- Travis Picking (finger picking and playing lead melodies simultaneously)
Think about it: you can channel your inner Nick Drake, Joan Baez, or Noah Kahan to become the life of the campfire in time for the holidays
(f%ck New Year’s Resolutions, let’s get it done sooner).
