This month's Live Lesson: "We'll Meet Again" by Ross Parker + Hughie Charles

Let's start with a review of last month's lesson: "Both Sides Now," by Joni Mitchell 

Ever since I heard the news of the passing of the Queen, I've had the song "We'll Meet Again" running through my head.  It seems like an appropriate time to share it, and I hope it brings solace to those of you who are feeling a loss right now.

This song was first made famous by Vera Lynn during World War II, and become popular again at the beginning of the pandemic when it was referenced by the Queen.  Artists as varied as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, and She & Him have recorded this song, and my arrangement is inspired by the jazz and rockabilly approaches.  You can check out my version in tonight's 5@5 for reference - I will release an official play-along soon (the link in the chord chart is just a placeholder and does not work yet).

While there are a lot of chords, most are easy to play, and we'll talk about the relationships in the different chord families that will make the chords easier to remember.  I also added some intermediate options, like the walkdown, as well as fun tab lead-ins.

A note about our monthly Live Lessons

My goal is to teach and arrange a lesson that is interesting for all levels. I will walk through the lesson by starting with beginner-level strumming, and gradually layer on more challenging options for advanced players.

I encourage you to play at your level, and embrace your own pace of incrementally leveling up. You can re-watch the lesson as many times as you like. Grasp the basics on the first go-round, and each time you review, you'll pick up new tips and techniques. You can use this method to become a better student and better learner - by building more awareness and more patience. :)
