Precious by The Pretenders Guitar Chords
First song from the enonymous album of the greatest band ever on the face of this earth.
Have been playing this song for years and i think its pretty damn accurate.
Corroborated by live performances by the band in newcastle. and the LA dvd etc.
Rhythm note durations are included, but you might want to ignore them.
Basically, the chords could be 5th “power” chords or major bar chords as you choose.
I think top half of the bar is used for most of the track.
I hope to get more of the pretenders punk moments online, they seem neglected by tabbers!:o

If you want to learn The Pretenders Precious guitar chords, The 5 chords we’ll look at are the C major, A major, G major, E major, and D major.
The reason we use all major chords is that the minor versions of any of these chords just require tiny adjustments.
Each one of those minor chords is completely based on its major counterpart
The more you practice, the easier guitar will feel to play Precious. Guitar is hard to learn in the beginning, but gets easier the longer you stick with it.
