Ode to Joy

'Ode to Joy' was one of my favourite songs I learnt when I was just starting to play guitar. It can be a bit complicated for beginners but practise makes perfect!

'Ode to Joy' was writen by Ludwig van Beethoven in 1824. It was a part of Ludwig's 9th Symphony. Beethoven's insperation for his Symphony came from a poem by Friedrich Schiller called 'Ode to Freedom' which was about 'celebrating the brotherhood and unity of all mankind'.
This is the tab for 'Ode to Joy':
