2. Jefferson Airplane Songs - Learn To Play On Guitar
Somebody To Love was first recorded by a San Francisco group called The Great Society in 1965 but never had much impact. The writer, Darby Slick, has a sister-in-law in that group known as Grace Slick.
When these cats disbanded only after one year, Grace took this song with her to Jefferson Airplane. The song went on to reach #1 in Canada and #5 in the US and has become a 60s classic.
Chords And Strumming
Play this with a capo 4th fret using the chords Dm, G, C and F. No lead work here while playing a down down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern with down strokes in some places.
