In this lesson I’ll teach you Jose Feliciano’s fingerstyle approach to playing “California Dreamin’”. This version can be heard in Quentin Tarantino’s film “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and is used to great affect in that film. Make no mistake, what Jose plays is tough – so I’ll show you how I went about simplifying it in order to make it more accessible.
In the end, you’ll be left with a 4-5 chord groove that you can play in the advanced style (like Jose), or in the simplified style (as I play it). Chords, with tabs and pictures (showing finger position) are what’s focused on in my PDF. Check it out and enjoy!
