STANDARD TRACK
Sept ‘24
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
This month’s tune is one that I’ve been wanting to create an arrangement for a really long time. Every level will be tackling a version of the iconic riff that is found repeating throughout this tune. There are only 4 chords to learn but don’t let it fool you, some of these changes can be tricky and there are a couple of different progressions that we’ll need to learn. If you haven’t done so already check out this incredible performance at the Grammys, it brought some tears for me for sure. Also this instrumental version from Al Wood to hear it translated on the four strings.
