America -- A Horse With No Name Video Lesson From You Tube

As David from Next Level Guitar demonstrates in this guitar lesson below, this song only has two chords, which makes this song very easy to play.  It was one of the first songs I learned on acoustic guitar.  The two chords you will need to learn are:  E Minor and a D6 Add 9 Chord which David will explain how to play.  I know, it sounds like a complicated chord, but it really is very easy to play. Enjoy!
