This Ripple guitar tutorial is designed for beginners using easy open chord shapes and simple strumming—no fingerpicking required. If you’ve always wanted to play Ripple by the Grateful Dead but felt fingerpicking was a barrier, this lesson removes it completely. I also include an alternative chorus option so you can choose what feels best for your hands. This is a perfect first song on guitar that sounds musical fast and builds confidence right away.
