Don't Look Back by The Wood Brothers
Don't Look Back
Rhythm: The song is in 3/3 time so it's a little hard to get used to if you normally play standard 4/4,but listen to it a few times and play along with the Wood Brothers to get the timing right. Most of the chords are played just for one measure each so it's a lot of quick chord changing throughout the song.
Chords: When playing this waltz-like song, for the first beat hit the bass note with your thumb then
for the next 2 beats in the measure simultaneously pluck three or four higher strings. It sounds like
bum chuck chuck bum chuck chuck. The bass is really important in this song so make sure you get the rhythm down.
You also have to walk up the bass notes from C to Bb when transitioning to the chorus, so the transition will
be 3 bass notes walking up. You can figure those notes out easily by listening to the song.
Chords: the first digit in the sequence represents the low E string
