Don't Stop Believin' Guitar Lesson for Beginners!
💻 Check out James' Beginner Guitar Course: https://goodguitarist.com/beginner-guitar-course/

Today we'll learn how to play "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey in the easiest way possible. This tutorial is perfect for beginners as it uses only basic chord shapes and avoids barre chords entirely. We'll go through the entire song step-by-step, covering the chords, strumming patterns, and tips to make it sound great. The one major adjustment I've made, is to replace the Bm chord with D. Without breaking into theory too much, no matter what key you put this tune in, barre chords are unavoidable. But I substituted one of them for a chord in the same tonal class so it still works, sounds pretty much the same, and makes the song 100x easier.
