Today we're going to take a look at While My Guitar Gently Weeps by the Beatles. This is a song that uses a descending bass line to create interesting chords. We’ll break this down into two sections.
The first section is based around the A minor (Am) chord. You’ll play the A minor chord every measure, but the bass notes will change.
The first is an Am with a G in the bass. Take your pinky and play the third fret of the sixth string (G) while playing the A minor chord. The next chord is almost the same, but you’ll play the second note of the sixth string (F#) with your middle finger. Lastly, take your index finger and play the first fret of the sixth string (F).

You’ll notice that you won’t be able to play the full Am chord as you play the F# and F bass notes. That’s OK. Just play as much of the Am chord as you can, especially the first fret of the second string.
The second half of this first section uses full chords. Play a measure of A minor, then a full G chord. I like using the three finger G here, playing the third fret of the first string with my pinky.
That easily transitions into our next chord, a Dsus4 (D suspended four). You’ll play the Dsus4 into a D Major. 2:14 in the video shows the timing of this.

When you see a chord with a slash, it means you're playing a chord (the first one listed) with a note in the bass (the second note listed). So Am/G is an Am chord with a G in the bass.
TIP: It's perfectly fine to play the D chord throughout this measure and leave out the Dsus4 altogether. The Dsus4 would be considered an embellishment.
The second section (Chorus) normally uses bar chords, but we’re going to do a version without bar chords. We'll use different voicings of each chord.

The chord progression is A-C#m-F#m-C#m, then Bm-Bm-E-E. The C#m, F#m, and Bm are normally bar chords. But today we’re going to play a non-bar chord version of C#m and Bm, and a
The F#m bars the first three strings with your index finger. Use your ring finger to play the fourth string. If you’re finding it too difficult to play the first string, just bar the second and third.
Once you’re comfortable with the chords, give section 2 a try. You can do 4 strums per chord just to get you used to them.

The first enhancement would be to use bar chords in place of the C#m, F#m and B chords in the chorus. If you'd like to go for it and could use some help check out my Ultimate Guide to Bar Chords post.
The final lick would be to do a bass note step up starting on the open E (lowest) string. This would take the place of the last E chord in the chorus.
One way would be to use a different pattern on the chorus. This creates a different feel on the chorus and adds variety.
