If there’s one chord every electric guitarist should know, it might be this one-finger A chord made famous by Pete Townshend on The Who’s Won’t Get Fooled Again. It's incredibly easy to play, sounds huge and, yes, you can even practise your Townshend windmill with it! But there’s much more subtlety to Pete’s playing than you might expect. Behind the huge live sound are delicate picking parts, little bends, lead lines and triad shapes that make Won’t Get Fooled Again such a great guitar song to learn. #TheWho #PeteTownshend #GuitarLesson
