Ramblin Man Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Ramblin Man chord chart by the Allman Brothers. Another simple song to play along to using the chord C, F, G, D and Em. The only things that's really tricky about this song for beginner guitar players is that it's very fast. So you might have to stick with a simple four down strumming pattern until your chord changes are quick enough.
NOTE: We will be using a Capo at the 1st fret.
