Road Trippin' Guitar Lesson - Intro/Verse

The intro/verse is really just three chords – Em, C and B. The trickiest part to really anchor down is the thumb, if you can get that down the rest should come reasonably easily. Therefore, I recommend isolating the thumb first, getting the rhythm of it really secure and then bring in the remaining notes.
