I Got A Woman | TAB
Should you find yourself playing rhythm guitar in a band, it’s always good to start with something simple that is guaranteed to work before you stretch your wings.
Here’s an idea I came up with for how to play I Got A Woman, displayed using TAB.

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.
