How to Play Sweet Home Alabama Easy Guitar Chords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chords Used in Sweet Home Alabama<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The chords in “Sweet Home Alabama” are A7, D, E, and G. As you can see, they are all open chords\u2014meaning that they do not require barring with your index finger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes them fairly easy to play and helps give the song its signature sound. It is best to use a pick and strum downstrokes to get the most out of these chords. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This provides the song with an excellent driving rhythm essential for correctly playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finger Placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now, look at where to put your fingers when playing each chord. For A7, place your first two fingers on fret two of strings one and two (E and B). Then place your third finger on fret three of string five (A). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For D, place your first two fingers on fret two of strings three and four (G and D). Then place your third finger on fret two of string five (A). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place your first two fingers on fret one of the strings one and two (E and B) for E. Then place your third finger on fret two of string five (A). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, for G, place both of your index fingers on fret three of strings six and one(E and B), respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have mastered these chords, move on to strumming patterns. Sweet Home Alabama has an 8-beat strumming pattern made up of downstrokes only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that each bar should be broken up into eight equal parts, with each part being a downstroke with either an open note or one with some chord played behind it. It might take some practice, but eventually, you will master this technique!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
