Lesson transcript

Playing Chords to "Fireball Mail"

And lastly, we'll play the chords to Fireball Mail. I'll just mix up low and high.

One, two, one.

There.

That was just some examples of ways you could play, just real simple vamping. I tried not to play anything fancy.

There are fancier things that get done, but we won't get into those until a later time.
