Guitar Lesson: Fast Car – Tracy Chapman – How to Play intro&Verse&Chorus

Welcome to another guitar lesson to learn how to play Fast Car by Tracy Chapman with this online instructional youtube video. The whole song is covered in this lesson. If you use the annotations it is possible to skip certain parts which is handy for those who learn fast. I’ve also changed some things in the presentation of the video like split screen to show left and right hand more clearly and bigger chord diagrams during the explanation of chords. Hopefully these things make it easier to view these vids also on your blackberry, iphone, or other smart-devices. Enjoy this all-time guitar classic!

    @nothingbutnet313 thanks, it’s always nice to read that the lesson is appreciated ;-)
    I guess explaining these songs in detail takes more time and there fore much more time in editing which might be why some do not do that. But there are some very good teachers active at youtube and I’m happy to contribute my part.

    Keep playing, this song by Tracy is one of my favourite songs!

    @ColinZ55 That’s just a quick intro I made for the tutorial, has a nice happy and mellow mood to it, good for the acoustic session video’s

    @junkevin in 10 years from now, that could well be the case! more and more teachers are starting to make tutorials for songs, it’s just a matter of time. just like tab, now you can find just about everything on the net…

    oh and thanks for the compliment! :-)
