This is a STRUMMING guitar lesson so we are focussing on two different rhythms that will represent this song best as an acoustic guitar arrangement that you can sing along to.

Song Lessons – True Colours by Cyndi Lauper (Acoustic chords with Picking Intro)

True Colours. Another classic. Released in 1986. Sung by Cindi Lauper. Also recorded for the film Trolls by Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick. The original recording is synth-based but it really lends itself very well to an acoustic guitar arrangement.

When I first heard Jeff Buckley’s version of Lilac Wine on the Grace album it was a moment I’ll never forget. Sparse, haunting, visceral, stunning melody, very humble guitar creating an atmosphere, not at all overplayed. Truly captivating. A story beautifully told…
