How to play
Step-by-Step Guide
1
Hold the C chord
Just C — let it ring out as a drone throughout the entire song.
2
Create the drone feel
Strum slowly and evenly. Add effects if you have a pedal — reverb and delay help capture the psychedelic feel.
3
Sing the melody
The vocal melody floats over the drone. Sing in a relaxed, almost monotone style like Lennon.
