This is the full fingerstyle guitar lesson for Fire and Rain.
Fire and Rain was written by James Taylor in 1970 and is one of Taylor’s best-known and most successful songs. The song appears on his album Sweet Baby James and was written after his childhood friend Suzanne Schnerr committed suicide.
This song makes for a great fingerstyle piece and this particular arrangement is quite nuanced and intricate. Therefore is best suited to the intermediate to advanced player.
If you want to learn how to play the original guitar part I’ve previously made a lesson on it which you can learn here.
