Description: Get my 2-page instructional PDF to follow along @ playsongnotes.com/lessons/428 *** Hey there, friends! I'm two days into learning FIRE AND RAIN by James Taylor, and wanted to share this video with some helpful tips – in case you too are just getting started with the song. Instead of diving immediately into the intricacies of James Taylor's exact arrangement, I want to start off giving you an overview of the chord shapes & finger positions used in the intro and verse sections. I'll explain things big-picture, shining light on the broad strokes that are initially helpful to get a handle on. I'll also walk through a few sample exercises you can play (which I've also been practicing!) that help you develop fluency with these chord shapes. From there, you'll be ready to rock when you're ready to continue with a full lesson. Be sure to check out my 2-page PDF to accompany this lesson, which acts as a practice guide for you to follow along with when learning these chord shapes. The PDF also includes the sample exercises I show in my video, written out in tab form, which help you develop fluency with these chord shapes and transitions. Let's do it!
