Beyond’s chords, progressions, and TAB
Leon Bridges‘ Beyond is from his second album, Good Thing. Released in 2018 it was a new direction compared to his debut, Coming Home (2015)
Whereas the first album was very retro (and Sam Cooke sounding!) the follow-up had more of a modern twist to it, still maintaining some soul.
Beyond wasn’t a chart hit, although it has over the years started to become more and more popular, very much like the man himself.
Members get access to the exact TAB of the intro and a comprehensive analysis of Beyond’s chords. Once you can play that intro note for note, you’ve unlocked the general strumming pattern.

Intermediate Acoustic
Most intermediate acoustic tunes can’t be played using just basic open-position chords. We have to move up the fretboard and play CAGED barre chords as well.
We incorporate bass lines, add licks, extend chords, and play vocal melodies. Most importantly, we invent second guitar parts and play these songs together.
Intermediate Electric
The intermediate electric tunes will help you with learning the CAGED system all over the fretboard, both for chords and pentatonic scales.
Learn these Motown/Soul classics, and you’ll not just improve dramatically but also gain yourself a repertoire.
