As you can see, there are subtle changes throughout. Notice how the change in chord shape for the A7 from bar 4 to bar 9 lifts the chords just enough to keep it interesting without being overly complicated.

Let’s also take a look at the bridge chords. This is the easiest section of the tune, as we move from Bb7 to A7, then stop. Like this:

||: A7 N.C Bb7 | A7 N.C Bb7 :||

Try this part using all possible chord shapes. You could even experiment with this in an improvised way during a live gig!

If you play along with the original recording and use these rhythm guitar ideas, you’ll soon be able to play I Got A Woman in a band setting.
