Sitting on the Dock of the Bay is a classic song, and it’s quite unusual in that it contains all seven natural major chords,
A, B, C, D, E, F and G. It goes against the grain of most music theory concepts, but yet works impeccably.
In this video, I show the seven chords as both E and A shape barre chords. If this song is learned and indeed the chords are shouted out while they’re played, it’s a great way of memorizing the positions of the chords on the guitar fretboard. Sharps and flats are then easily introduced by simply going up a fret for sharps and down a fret for flats.
