The Wind Guitar Lesson

There are really only two parts to the song that you have to learn – the verse and the chorus. I’d say that the verse is probably a little easier to play but the chorus uses a great technique where you play the bass with your thumb and then strum the chords (bass-strum technique). This one is really important to master if you’re interested in playing more fingerstyle.
