This is the full fingerstyle guitar lesson for Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head.

This song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and was recorded by B.J. Thomas. It went on to reach the number one spot in the US and top the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks.
