"Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison

Difficulty: Easy

Though this song isn't really difficult, there are a few things that may be hard to play on your acoustic, as some of the fretting is a little daunting on the acoustic neck.

Here are the chords used for the song :

The song is set to a brisk 140 bpm, so I would personally recommend working with this at that speed. You will be tempted to play it slower, as I was. Try the best you can to stay correct with the rhythm. That is one thing that is so hard about these lessons. It's hard to convey the appropriate rhythm without you spending a great deal of time learning about the basics of rhythm.

You may want to try to strum along with the PTB versionl. I did.

In this case, the strumming remains the same throughout the song. Keep that in mind.
