“Levon” has some beautiful chord movement, and in this lesson I’m breaking the whole song down for guitar.
A lot of the original feel comes from Elton John’s piano arrangement, so I went through the chords and bass movement to find guitar voicings that keep the sound of the song while still making sense under your fingers.
We’ll put a capo on the 5th fret and work through the intro, verses, chorus, and the chord changes that get you through the entire song.
