Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks (Patreon)

Hello all,

It's Summer Special time once again. And I've opted to go for a real classic this year. Nothing particularly hard about the guitar part, since this one's really all about the songwriting. Having said that, if you are more of a beginner, there's actually some quite challenging stuff here, plus it's a great song for working on your open position 7th chords. Here's a link -

In the video I also spend a bit of time discussing the harmony and writing which I hope will be of interest to those of you who write your own songs. Attached below you can find a chord/lyric chart, and there's also a tab where I've written out some suggested rhythms and strumming patterns, but you don't need to stick too closely to those if you don't want to.

And do check out my previous summer videos - I'll put together a playlist on YouTube.

As I say at the end of the video, I will be off on my hols for a bit while I recharge my content creation batteries. I'm planning to do a bit of light guitar practice and writing. And also plenty of listening, which will hopefully lead to some fresh video ideas. New song suggestions particularly welcome right now as I'm going to be planning videos for the 'autumn term' very soon!

I'll be back in one, possibly two week's time. Thanks as ever to everyone here for the incredible support. Speak soon,

Adrian
