"Beginnings" by Chicago | Guitar Lesson

Brief lesson on an iconic track from Chicago [Transit Authority]'s 1st album.
Disclaimer: There are many voicings Terry Kath, Keith Howland, and the various guitarists of Chicago have used for this song - sometimes interchangeably every performance. I may do another video where I break these variations down, but as far as codifying it to a single choice, this will get you through the song extremely accurately.

Short and sweet … perfect. Thanks.

[@JeffreyMetcalfe]

The first song I ever sang professionally in front of a crowd! Thanks Bill!

[@michaelstrong4956]

Dude, that sounds great! Definitely on the setlist for my next jam with a few of my buddies...well, our version won't have the horn section, there's only 4 of us! Thanks for posting.

[@Jslav-jj2xq]

Well done sir, right to the point

[@danielordorica5857]

Awesome! You simplified it a lot. I used to play way harder chords. Thanks.

[@markchristopher4165]

Yes! Great little lesson

[@BillWorrellOfficial]

Glad you liked it!

[@robertwarrenburg2971]

Great lesson, straight to the point just what I needed. Thank you!

[@BillWorrellOfficial]

You're welcome!

[@matthewoconnell114]

Really liked this. Clean and straightforward. Not for beginners but perfect for intermediate level and above. Can’t wait to play this on my 12-string. Just subscribed.

[@BillWorrellOfficial]

Thanks for the subscribe! Glad you're inspired to play - that's the goal! Yes, you're right: there's a certain amount of proficiency viewers should have, especially because I was trying to keep it short and sweet. Perhaps I'll add a disclaimer :). Cheers and thanks again!

[@mannyals303]

Why don't you put the tabs of all songs you cover?

[@BillWorrellOfficial]

I'll see what I can do in future videos. Thanks for the feedback.

[@robgross2265]

The chords are easy! It would have been cool if you showed how to play the rhythm with your right hand.

[@jeanmorna3626]

7 major .

[@Billsingsong]

Could’ve been a great lesson, but you’re going way too fast and explaining how to do the chords. Please slow down, redo the video and explain how to make the chords. Thank you.

[@michaelstrong4956]

Don't sweat the chords, just make a note as to what chords he mentions and look them up on KZbin, they're mostly Major 7th chords and they're pretty much movable all around the fretboard... dude, you got this!
