Mr Tambourine Man Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Mr. Tambourine Man Chords & Guitar Lesson page. In this lesson we will be doing a great classic by the Byrds written by Bob Dylan. Dylan has his own version of the song as well.
Now we are very fortunate that Mr Tambourine Man is all open chords. In the video lesson below, I will show use how to introduce the Dsus2, Dsus4 and Asus4 chords into the mix if you’d like that extra spice.
