Welcome to my “Sunshine Of Your Love” chord chart. The chords are D7, C7, G5, F5, A5, C5 and G5. (G5 is a G power chord for example) The main riff, the hook of the song is a classic! This is a really easy song to play and a great one for beginner players to dive into.
The D7 and C7 chords are a bit tricky, try to get all of the strings to ring out. If you are having trouble with this, check out this lesson.
The main guitar riff is based off of a blues scale and is easy to play, and addictive. The entire song is basically a twelve bar blues that repeats.
