Meet Me In The Hallway
by Harry Styles • Lesson #71 • May 25, 2017
Editor’s Notes
Here’s my acoustic guitar lesson for Meet Me in the Hallway by Harry Styles. Straight up, this isn’t meant to be 100% accurate to how it’s played on the album. It’s quite close, though. These chords will let you play along with the album – but I have no interest in capturing a perfect record of every single note played on every instrument heard on the studio version (there’s too much going on, I’m not good enough, etc). Rather, I want to show you how I enjoy playing this song. If this helps you, fantastic! If you think this is garbage and sacrilege, I implore you to look elsewhere. Thanks and enjoy!
