Dear Prudence Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Dear Prudence chord chart by The Beatles.
This song is very interesting in that it is played in Drop D tuning. If you don’t know what that means or how to do that, check out my YouTube Tutorial on Drop D Tuning. This song also utilizes a walking bass line where the bass notes will run from D to C to B to Bb.
This song is fingerpicked. If you are familiar with Travis Picking, you can do that, but if not the picking is a bit more patterned than what I can present here. Something like this might work well.
