Tennessee Whiskey Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Tennessee Whiskey chords chart by Chris Stapleton. This is a very laid back song and has a pretty cool groove to it. The key to this song is dynamics and not killing to guitar. You have to be gentle with your playing. The chords are not too bad, mostly A, D and E but Bm pops in every once in a while.
You can play and "easy version" of Bm using the diagram below.
