Song Tabs

 The original "Happy Together" by The Turtles is a classic 1960s pop song, known for its bright melody and upbeat rhythm. The song features simple, catchy chord progressions, making it accessible for beginner guitarists.

## Chord Progression and Transitions

The primary chords used are Dm, C, Bb, A, D, Am, and F. Practice changing between Dm and Dm/C by moving your finger on the A string from the 3rd to 2nd fret. The transition from Bb (barre chord) to A or C can be challenging for beginners; take it slow and focus on clean sound.

## Strumming Pattern

A common pattern for this song is: down, down-up, up-down-up (D, D-U, U-D-U). Keep the strumming light and bouncy to match the song’s feel. For verses, play softer; during choruses, strum more energetically.

## Techniques and Tips

For the Bb chord, try the “mini-barre” version if full barre is too hard. Use a metronome to stay in rhythm, as the tempo is moderate and steady. Practice the intro sequence (Dm, Dm/C) to set the groove.

Sing along as you play to help with timing and to enjoy the song’s uplifting mood. Repetition and relaxed hands will help with smooth transitions. Enjoy making this pop classic your own!
