The House Of The Rising Sun

Description

"The House Of The Rising Sun" as made famous by The Animals is a classic pop/rock song based on an old folk song with a simple, repeated chord progression, a lilting 12/8 beat and sad lyric tale.

There is just one electric guitar in this song arpeggiating and strumming the iconic progressions throughout. In the following lessons, we’ll talk about open chords, chord arpeggiation and strumming with a 12/8 feel, and dynamics. We are in the key of A minor, with a 12/8 time signature, at a tempo of 78 BPM.
