I Say a Little Prayer (Aretha Franklin)-Complete Guitar Lesson

This fabulous Bacharach song is lots of fun to play on a single acoustic guitar, and in this video I outline the structure, the rhythm, the chord shapes, picking pattern, bass lines... and all the little details that make an authentic performance, with step-by-step explanations and demonstrations :-)

Dear David, I recently complimented you on and thanked you for your lesson on ‘Just the way you are’ and since then I found many more of your arrangements so very charming and usefull. Just like this one! I am in my early seventies, play the guitar ever since my 18th, have lots of motivation and , sorry to say, much less talent. Your lessons give me great pleasure. I want to thank you again and I wished I’d live in London for then I would come over and visit you.

@JohanVermeulen Thank you so much! These videos are a little bit of joy for me, and all the more so when I know that other people are enjoying them too 😊 Feel free to contact me dalstondavid.com/contact/ if you think you might like a remote zoom session with me, and in the meantime good luck and happy guitar!

great work ! thank you!

[@dalstondavid]

My pleasure! It's a wonderful song, and I'm so glad people are getting mileage out of my tutorials 😁

[@tijarabilali4109]

So good. Do you ever notice that it seems natural to sing this song as man without change the words. Well, I think so. Thank you

[@dalstondavid]

Agreed! I quite like the idea of getting some make-up on before stepping out, and singing about it-well in the context of this song, anyway ☺️
