First Cut Is The Deepest - Cat Stevens/ Sheryl Crow/ Rod Stewart
In this video
In this video, I take you through how to play The First Cut Is The Deepest by Cat Stevens.
Beginners can learn a strumming version of his song with three easy guitar chords.
Intermediate players may wish to focus on the lead part in the intro and verses, which uses triads for the G, D and C major chords!
