This is the full fingerstyle guitar lesson for Scarborough Fair.

Scarborough Fair is a timeless English ballad with roots dating back all the way to the 17th century. It’s a haunting, medieval sounding piece that’s loved in the folk world.

Previously we learnt how to play Simon & Garfunkel’s version but as the song/melody is so beautiful it works great played as a fingerstyle arrangement too.

OK, let’s pick up our guitars and learn how to play this beginner level arrangement of Scarborough Fair!

Scarborough Fair Guitar Lesson

As always take your time when learning this and really go slow. I’d recommend learning the chord progression off by heart and also learning the melody/lyrics off by heart too. This will really help you to cement into place everything that you’ve learn from the lesson.
