Treat You Better Guitar Lesson

Cool Shawn Mendez tune using 10ths and popular strum pattern

So the only part that got taught in the stream was the main riff.  Which is very cool and uses 10th.  I will however make a video that teaches the whole song soon enough 🙂

  • Intro and verse use 10th's - Cool sound and way to play chords
  • Chorus uses strum pattern from strum lesson 3 - percussive hits on beat 2 and 4
  • Solo - Part of pentatonic box
  • Bridge uses open chords - Am, G/B, C, F
  • 2nd fun guitar part in verse 2

Some fun things in this lesson.  We are using the strum pattern from strum lesson #2.
