About this lesson

In this lesson, I’m teaching you my guitar arrangement of “Changes” by Black Sabbath. Originally a piano-based tune, this version is adapted for guitar using open chords and a capo for a beautiful, flowing sound. We also lost Ozzy recently—so this one’s from the heart. Rest in peace to a true legend. 🖤 You’ll learn: ⦿ How to play “Changes” in the key of C (capo 5th fret) ⦿ Simple chord shapes with rich voicings ⦿ Fingerpicking ideas to match the piano feel ⦿ Tips for staying in that 3/4 time groove This lesson was chosen by the VIP Marty Music community—huge thanks to everyone who voted!
