Sweet Home Alabama - Verses (Guitar 1 & 2)
Guitar 1Once you get use to the feel of the intro the verse rhythms are virtually the same. Again, these guitar parts are split into chords then a riff as shown highlighted below.
Guitar 2The second guitar in the verse is not a difficult part to play although you do have to listen to the audio demo a few time to get the timing right. I would suggest playing the D note (2nd string 3rd fret) with your 3rd finger then the G note (1st string 3rd fret) with your little finger as if you were playing the top end of a G Major chord. This way in bar 7 when you slide up to the 5th fret you can place your 1st finger on the 3rd fret 1st string (G note)
Verse Pre-Chorus (Guitar 1)The only difference in this part is the end riff (highlighted in yellow) is new all the rest stays the same.
Verse Variation
Guitar 1
This variation only happens once in the song in the 3rd verse. Song
Text (verse 3) The (boo ooh ooh) is F C D as shown below (boo=F ooh=C ooh=D). The D chord is the start of the next bar.
Guitar 2Start this riff (yellow highlight) with your 1st finger on the 4th string 5th fret. It's a bit difficult to get the 1st finger from the 3rd note in the riff (3rd string 5th fret) up to the next (5th string 5th fret) but it's not a major riff in the song like the others are so you don't really hear it too much.
