Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

This is the definitive original version of By This River by Brian Eno, transcribed exactly as it was recorded in the studio.

It suits players who want to learn By This River the way Brian Eno intended, without oversimplifying the arrangement.
