If I Had A Hammer Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my If I Had A Hammer chords and guitar lesson. This version in the Peter, Paul & Mary version which is a little bit peppier and does include a C#m barre chord.
BUT....
If you do not like barre chords, you could just play a C# power chord with the b and e string rining open and it will still sound good.
Let's take a look at the lesson below.
