Today's guitar lesson for beginners is about how to play Norwegian Wood by The Beatles without a capo. Hey guys, Brad Litton from SimpleGuitar.com here with another beginner guitar lesson for you about playing this great Beatles song without a capo. Normally this acoustic guitar song is in the key of E by placing a capo on the 2nd fret & basing it around a D shape chord. But what I'm going to show you is how to play this song in E with no capo needed at all. Honestly I think this version is actually a bit easier to play than the original version, too. So in this video I'll be going over all 4 chords you need to know, the rhythm for all the strumming, & break down the verse & chorus sections of the song.
