How to play "Already Drank That Beer" on guitar
[Intro and Verse Chord Progression]
- The intro and verses use a straightforward progression of G, Em7, Cadd9, G.
Start with a consistent rhythmic strumming pattern, focusing on creating a
relaxed, flowing sound.
- This progression sets the reflective tone of the song, mirroring the
nostalgic and bittersweet lyrics.
[Chorus Dynamics]
- In the chorus, continue using the same chord progression but perhaps
increase the strumming intensity slightly to emphasize the emotional
weight of the chorus.
- The increase in dynamics here should reflect the longing and reminiscence
expressed in the lyrics about past experiences.
[Instrumental/Solo Section]
- During the instrumental solo, maintain the established chord progression.
This is a great opportunity to experiment with melodic fills or lead
guitar lines over the rhythm.
- Keep the rhythm steady and supportive, allowing any lead guitar work to
stand out.
[Outro]
- The outro revisits the reflective theme, gradually winding down in
intensity. Return to a softer strumming pattern to close the song on a

Common mistakes:

and melody be the focus.
- Not adjusting the dynamics between the verse, chorus, and solo. Ensure
each section is distinct yet cohesive within the overall structure of
the song.
