How to Play Changes by Black Sabbath (Guitar Lesson Tribute to Ozzy)

In this lesson, I’m teaching you my guitar arrangement of “Changes” by Black Sabbath. Originally a piano-based tune, this version is adapted for guitar using open chords and a capo for a beautiful, flowing sound.

We also lost Ozzy recently—so this one’s from the heart. Rest in peace to a true legend. ????

You’ll learn:
⦿ How to play “Changes” in the key of C (capo 5th fret)
⦿ Simple chord shapes with rich voicings
⦿ Fingerpicking ideas to match the piano feel
⦿ Tips for staying in that 3/4 time groove
