My Maria - Guitar Lessonby B. W. Stevenson

Whether you remember B.W. Stevenson or Brooks & Dunn, My Maria remains one of the great feel-good songs of the 1970s. Neil breaks down the infectious opening riff, syncopated strumming patterns, and quick chord changes that give the song its unmistakable energy. A fun lesson that will immediately find its way into your repertoire.

My Maria was a hit for B. W. Stevenson in 1973 and again in 1996 when Brooks & Dunn covered it. It features a great opening lick and some syncopated strumming patterns with quick chord changes, along with some incredible vocals, which are a bit beyond the scope of this guitar lesson.
