Red Hot Chili Peppers: Snow (Hey Oh)

Free guitar lesson

Back to course index

This classic Chili's track is filled to the brim with awesome and challenging guitar parts. Wether you are taking on the fiddly intro section, or the main barre chords, there is plenty to get from learning it. Franco skilfully guides you through each section.

Part 1: The verse Chords

For the intro riff, we are picking through some pretty cool chord shapes. As it happens, the shapes are relatively easy to pick up, it's just the flicks that can be tricky, as well as the quick picking of the shapes. Here are the main chord shapes:

Part 2: The Bridge

When we get to the next section we have some new chords with a nice simple strumming pattern utilising every single strum! Here are the chords and the strumming pattern (which is in 16th notes, as Franco explains during the video).
