I won't be teaching it note for note, since this is a good listening exercise, but you can download the tablature file, where I include the tabs to the solo of Father and Son. Towards the end of the video, I will demonstrate the solo.

I’ll go into detail about this during the video lesson to Father and Son, and you’ll find the exact strumming patterns in the tablature as well. For the son’s he totally mixes things up during the last 2 bars and uses 3/4 time in the last bar. For the father’s section, he changes the last bar to 5/4 time. That’s because there, Cat Stevens changed the timing of the song from the usual 4/4. Also, you can mix up your strumming pattern a bit, making it more dynamic.Īt the end of both the father’s and son’s sections, you’ll have a few bars where the rhythm will feel off. For example, you can add the high G note to the C, Am7, and D chords while playing the son’s part. You can strum louder, and add a few chord embellishments.

The father sings and plays with a softer dynamic, and the son is more powerful, and full of youthful energy, if you will. They are very similar, except that the son’s sections need to be played more dynamically. Next, we’ll learn to play the strumming pattern to Father and Son, which repeats throughout the entire song.Īfterward, we’ll learn the father’s part of the song, followed by the son’s part. Most of my guitar students aren’t used to doing hammer-ons while playing chords, so this will provide great practice. This intro lick returns several times in the song. It is based around the G chord and involves hammering while strumming.

We’ll start our guitar lesson of Father and Son by learning to play the intro. It's a bit confusing to describe, but watch the lesson, then practice the song along with the original, and you'll hear how they work. It is mostly straightforward, except for a few bars which have 5/4 and 3/4 time signatures. If you can sing, you'll be singing the son’s parts more powerfully, and an octave above the father’s, which makes the son’s parts more dynamic, but the father's wiser, so to say.įather and Son is played in the key of G. The song describes a conversation between a father and son, so there aren't really verses or choruses, there's the father speaking, then the son. With our guitar tutorial on Father and Son, you will learn these guitar skills:įather and Son by Cat Stevens (now called Yusuf Islam, having converted to Islam) is a wonderful acoustic song that has something for everyone.
