Song Lessons – Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution by Tracy Chapman (Acoustic Strum Easy & Harder)

Song Lessons – Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution by Tracy Chapman (Acoustic Strum Easy & Harder)

Talkin’ ’bout a Revolution released in the late 80s is a well requested song for acoustic guitar strummers. Tracy Chapman has taken 4 chords, repeated them in the same order throughout the song and with a bit of an interesting strumming pattern created something that defines it and is instantly recognisable to this song even though these same 4 chords are used in countless other songs.

Today we learn the actual strumming pattern in the recording. I’ve added tab and rhythm charts to help reinforce the lesson. In the second part I break down the rhythm into an easy version for those with less experience or those not wanting to learn the more complex version.
