Hello, friends! Here's a guitar lesson for Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay, the Otis Redding classic from 1968. This one is a ton of fun to play on the guitar, even though you may not think of guitar when you listen to it. I'll teach you to play it using only 7 chords (using only open chords, all of which major). I'll show you a few ways to strum it, including both beginner-friendly and more advanced strums.
For those of you who are looking for a bit of a challenge, I'll also teach you the subtle walk-up and walk-down heard during the verse of Redding's album version — in addition to explaining the rhythm behind the pushed chord changes that give the song's rhythm a bit of distinction. These may take a bit of practice to get comfortable with, but they sound great when used together. Let's jump in!
