Can’t Fight This Feeling Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Can’t Fight This Feeling chords and guitar lesson by REO Speedwagon. I have had student requesting REO Speedwagon for years and I'm finally getting a chance to do one of their classics.
This song heavily features piano, but we are going to approach it in a way that makes it accessible to guituar. This song is going to require a CAPO at the 2nd fret.
