Pretty Woman Chord Chart by Roy Orbison
Welcome to my Pretty Woman Chord Chart by Roy Orbison. What a great song and something that is on the beginner level as well which is great.
This song has a little bit of a lick that goes with it, which is pretty cool, and a key change. That means we are going to starting using one family of chords (A, E, D, F#m) and moving to a different family of chords (Dm, G7, Am, C) that sound good together.
You can practice moving from lead guitar into strumming, or, you can just focus on the strumming of the song. Changing between lead playing the lick and strumming the chords can be it’s own challenge, but something to definitely strive for as it makes playing this song super fun.
There is a lesson video below on how to play the intro and the the intro lick that your hear throughout the song. First, let’s talk about the strumming pattern that we can use.
Easier Strumming:
1 + 2+ 3+ 4+
D D DU DU
More Syncopated Strumming:
1 2 + 3 + 4 +
D DU U DU
