"Fire & Rain"
We’re thrilled to release our latest cover song lesson: "Fire and Rain" by the legendary James Taylor.
This one has been on our request list for quite a while — and for good reason. It’s a timeless acoustic classic that blends intricate fingerpicking with heartfelt lyrics, and it’s an essential tune for any fingerstyle guitarist’s repertoire.
James Taylor has always held a special place in my heart. He’s one of my dad’s all-time favorite acoustic artists, and learning this song brought back a flood of memories from my childhood. That personal connection made this lesson a particularly meaningful (and fun!) one to put together.
In this lesson, you’ll get:
• A step-by-step video walkthrough
• TAB and a chord chart
• Two jam tracks to help you practice and perform
Whether you're a long-time fan or learning "Fire and Rain" for the first time, we hope this lesson helps you connect with the music in a deeper way.
As always, feel free to reach out if you have questions or get stuck — and if you want to share your progress, send us a video! We love seeing you grow as a player.
Happy playing,
Nate & Chelsea
