Here is a wonderful acoustic version of the smash hit song “With or Without You” by U2. This song is the third song from the 1987 album “The Joshua Tree”. It was released as a single in March of 1987. This song was U2’s first number one hit in the US and Canada. Just an all around incredible song. You can learn more about this song by reading the article over at Wikipedia.
The lesson below is an excellent “unplugged” version of this song taught on acoustic guitar by Marty Schwartz. This is a fairly easy version and only uses 4 chords and those are: D Major, B Minor, G Major and A Major. The only chord that you may find difficult if you haven’t been playing very long is the B Minor Chord. Marty uses the full B Minor Barre Chord in the lesson below, but if you are having difficulties with this chord, there is a simplified version of B Minor that you can use that will sound just fine. Follow this link for the easy b minor guitar chord.
