new video: "Fire and Rain" Play-Along (Patreon)

{Public post}

Aloha, Patrons!

I'm happy to share a new play-along video for this timeless song.  Please enjoy my arrangement of "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor, and you can play along!  Chord chart attached to the bottom of this post.

Please take a moment to click through to YouTube, give it a thumbs up, and post a comment - it helps spread the word about my videos. 😊 Thank you!!  And be sure to subscribe if you haven't already - I'm getting close to 500K subscribers!

NEW - QR codes on Chord Chart and Video

As a digital creator online, I like to experiment with ways to incorporate new technology.  On the updated chord chart attached to this post, I've shared a QR code to easily access the Play-Along video on YouTube.  Please give it a try, let me know if it works and if it's useful to you.  This way, if you print out the chart, you can still access the link to the video from your phone or tablet without needing to search YouTube.

I also included a QR code on the video itself to lead to this Patreon post - the scenario I have in mind is that if you're watching the video on your TV and can't access the Chord Chart/Patreon links, you can scan the QR code with your phone or tablet.  If you used it and found it helpful, please let me know and share the details/platform of how you use it.  I'm also open to suggestions from tech-savvy folks for ways to improve access across platforms.  Thanks for helping me test this out! 

Watch the Patreon Live Lesson for "Fire and Rain"

I taught "Fire and Rain" for our monthly All-Levels Patreon Lesson way back in March 2019!  That was the last video I recorded in my San Francisco apartment before moving to Hawaii.  It took awhile, but I'm excited to finally release this play-along.  This song grows more meaningful with time, and I hope you'll enjoy revisiting this lesson, as I have.

Thank you to the Patrons for supporting this All-Levels Live Lesson.  All Patrons ($1+) can access the recording of the full lesson here: https://bit.ly/FireRainUkeLesson 

We revisited this song as part of our Rock Strum Review in this month's Beginner Live Jam.  We also broke down the intro tab in last month's Intermediate Live Jam on Hammers, Bends, and Pull-Offs.

Upcoming Patreon events and reminders

Join us for our March All-Levels Live Lesson this Thursday, March 17th at 2:30pm Hawaii Time / 5:30pm Pacific Time, available for $5+ Patrons.  I'll teach Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On" (click for a preview from my 5@5 LIVE show).  Please note, we've just had a Daylight Savings shift in the US, so non-US folks will likely have to join an hour earlier, check the time converter.
