Here’s a great song in 6/8 that we can utlize some of the rhythms I went through before, “Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star! This one is easy and I go through two ways, no Capo (but that means we have a barre chord!) or with a capo (no barre chord)! Go ahead and try it with the rhythm I go through in the video, or any of the other rhythms from my last video!
