Introduction
Ode to Joy" by Ludwig Van Beethoven is a hugely well-known piece of music. I remember it most vividly as the music that played during one of the scenes in the first 'Die Hard' movie starring Bruce Willis. This classical guitar lesson starts with me playing the piece through completely. Then I spend a couple of minutes teaching you how to do artificial harmonics because my transcription uses artificial harmonics to open the piece before the melody proper enters.
After the explanation I give a note-by-note explanation of the entire piece whilst including technical tips such as pivot and guide fingers.
Tips
The original is in the key of D-major but this transcription is in the easier key of C major
I suggest placing a capo at the 2nd fret if you want to play in the original key of D major
