It's time for another guitar lesson video! Recently, on of my private guitar students introduced me to a beautiful song called "Homeless Heart" by a group called Sidewalk Prophets.

He was having trouble playing some of the chords, seeing as how the song is in drop tuning, so I thought it a great opportunity to create a video for him that could serve as a complimentary lesson for my YouTube audience as well!

Here are the video and the chords I'm basing this lesson from:

Chords: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/s/sidewalk_prophets/homeless_heart_crd.htm

The chord sheet is in DADGAD tuning—I'm not sure if the actual song is— but rather than go through all the trouble of tuning my guitar down only to tune it back up again, I decided to play the song in Drop-D tuning, so the chords I'll be playing will be based from that.

Once again, this a beautiful, melodic tune that has some very powerful lyrics as well. Hopefully, my lesson will serve to get you started should you decide to play the song yourself some day.

I also enjoyed getting my Martin DCX1E out from its case for the first time in what seems like forever. Little known fact: I name ALL my guitars, and this Martin is named "Miracle" for the fact that I always thought it would be a miracle before I ever owned a Martin!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Here's hoping you learn something new that will help you along your journey toward guitar greatness!
