Greetings fellow lesson addicts..
Today we strike another song off the most voted list - The Weight
The Weight is one of the most popular songs by Robbie Robertson and The Band. It was released in 1969 on their 1st album, Music From Big Pink.
The whimsical lyrics and instantly recognizable opening lick make it a lot of fun to play and sing, especially if you can round up some friends to sing along. This TARGET Short lesson includes playing it in the original key of A as well as transposed down to G.
This lesson is a Level 4, so almost all of you can get their teeth into this immediately, even beginners...

>> Latest Target Lesson - Robbie Robertson and the Band - The Weight
I've always enjoyed this song and it was very reassuring for me to pick up a 4 and be able to play it complete quickly. It has been a testament to the awesome instruction that I have gotten from Neil. I love the descending base line part to make the song have a little more feel to it then just strumming straight chords the whole time.
