So, my wife has been learning a new cover song for a video that she is making, and she needed some help getting the guitar part down just right. The obsessive part of me took that as a cue to dig into this song and see how it is “really” played. It’s the newer Alicia Keys song called “Underdog”, and I ended up liking it a lot. Below you will find a link to the main lesson page complete with TAB and jam track. It’s a lot of fun to play, and it brings up two larger main topics for learning guitar. #1 - 16th note swung strumming patterns and #2 figuring out songs by ear (not depending on inaccurate TABs from the Internet).

Here is the full lesson: guitarfam.com/post/how-to-play-underdog-by-alic…

Here's the link to Chelsea's cover of this song: youtube.com/watch?v=hezmWVA-YbY

Enjoy, and don’t be intimidated to start learning songs by ear for yourself. We all have to start somewhere, and the sooner you get the ball rolling, the sooner you will start building those skills. If you need any help with this or anything else guitar related, you can book a private lesson with me here on the site. Have a great week!
