Linger - Guitar Lessonby Cranberries, The

Linger is a song composed by Irish musicians Dolores O’Riordan and Noel Hogan of the rock band The Cranberries, released in 1993. In 2017, an acoustic, stripped-down version of the song was released as the lead single for the album ‘Something Else’.

This lesson is mostly based on their acoustic versions. It shows the four major chords, with a few variations, and the progression which repeats itself all the way through.

We break down the strumming thoroughly and also take a look at the flatpicking intro and outro.
