Suttle changes in guitar structure can have a large impact to the overall feel of a song. At first look, the guitar tab for Love Hurts by Incubus seems to be a repeating chord pattern, but once you stop and research further into the chord changes you start to see small, but very important root note changes that make a C-major-chord and an A-minor-chord have an impact on how the singer Brandon Boyd changes the notes on the end of the of each of the verses.
This is a great structure for learning how to pick and strum a guitar for a beginning guitarist, it is slow enough to keep up, yet has enough pace to force you to pay attention and keep in time. Incubus has no problem keeping things simple, and have really found the style of music they enjoy, and it shows.
Enjoy playing along to this simple guitar song whether you have an acoustic or electric six string. Incubus uses both in this song, and you will get a chance to match up nicely with voicings of the strings regardless of your choice of instrument.
