If You Leave Me Now Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

Although this is a very beautiful and fun arrangement to play, it does have its challenges. One of the trickiest parts is the intro. There are a few difficult chord grips to flip between, but don’t let that put you off, as the verse and chorus aren’t quite so hard.

The other particularly tricky part is the outro, as there are some hefty stretches to make. It’s all good fun and games!
