Hey Gang,

Nesh has put together a lesson on another great tune from the pen of David Gates and Bread - Baby I'm-A Want You.


Baby I'm-A Want You is a song by American soft rock band Bread. It was released as a single in 1971 and became the title track for the album of the same name (1972).

The lesson takes a look at the many chords and shapes in the (relative) key of A, and elaborates on the strumming when going through the progression and arrangement.

Keep in mind that the guitar is tuned down a half step (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb- Bb-Eb), as is the case on the original recording. During some performances though the band would play it in standard tuning, with frontman David Gates using the same shapes.
