Song Tabs

 "Junior's Farm" by Paul McCartney and Wings is an upbeat rock song with a bluesy edge. The original track is driven by electric guitars with energetic strumming and a groove that propels the song forward.

Chords and Progression

The song uses common open chords: G, F, D, C, Em, Bm, Am. For beginners, F may be challenging as a barre chord; try the easier F major shape (xx3211) if needed. The main sections alternate between G and F, with C and Em added in verses and outros.

Strumming Pattern

A steady, driving strumming pattern works best. Try: Down, Down-Up, Up-Down-Up
Keep your wrist loose and accentuate the downbeats. For the chorus and intro, strum more energetically to match the song’s lively feel.

Chord Transitions

Practice moving between G and F, as this occurs frequently. Try to keep your hand close to the fretboard for smoother changes. The jump from F to Em in the verses also requires quick movement—practice slowly, then build speed.

Tips for Beginners

- Play slowly at first, focusing on clean chord changes.
- Use thinner picks for easier strumming.
- Mute unused strings with your palm or fingers to avoid unwanted noise, especially when playing F.
- Listen to the original to match the energetic groove.

With practice, the transitions and rhythm will feel natural, making this a fun song for developing your skills.
