Cat Stevens If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out Play Along Guitar Lesson

There are 2 parts to this video.

The first part is a play along from a video by Youtuber J180 Everly. I suggest that you check his channel out. Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti87e2Q3AIY

The second part is only me with the guitar.

The song is is the Key of C.

Cat Stevens - If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out

The Intro starts with the C chord in the 8th position, but you only play -

Intro C chord
-----0----------
-----8--------
--- -9.-------
----10------
----X--------
----X--------

Intro G chord
---------0--------
---------3--------
---------4--------
---------5--------
---------x--------
---------x--------

Leave the high e open as your strum.

Same this with G chord at the fifth position.
Same with the F chord in the first position but you quickly add a pinky finger at the 3rd fret high e to make it an Fadd9 chord

Then to a quick open G chord.

You do this twice before going into the verse.

There are 2 riffs throughout the song, during the chorus.

Riff 1
