Chord charts and the backing track are available to my Patrons. If you find my videos useful, please consider supporting me: http://www.patreon.com/LeftHandedGuitarist
These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!
Arcade Fire use very lush arrangements with multiple instruments, but Haiti has a simple and pretty acoustic guitar part playing through it which goes back and forth between G major and E minor, making it an ideal song for beginners. The trickiest part will probably be mimicking the strumming pattern used. Listen carefully to it and if need be tap it out or vocalise the rhythm so you understand it.
