Learn To Fly Chords

A beginner acoustic version without barre chords. Capo on 2nd fret and chord choice are based on the awesome Andy Guitar version from YouTube (https://youtu.be/pe8KA6qFlW8). You can play F barre instead of Fmaj7 if you can or want to do try using Asus2 and Dsus2 chords though as they do make this version sound better than regular A and D. Andy's version does include an arpeggio (finger-picking) for the verse, which is decidedly not beginner and hence not included here. Timing of chord changes is based in large part on one of many live performances by Dave Grohl (https://youtu.be/oojkmef3hKg).Was this info helpful?
