Summer Breeze Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Summer Breeze chords and guitar lesson by Seals and Croft. This is a great classic and something that will really help you work on your strumming skills.
While I think there is likely a lot of improvisation going on throughout the song, I will give you a few strumming frameworks to worth within.
There are a couple of interesting chords including the Bm7 as well as the B7sus4 chord, both of which are barre chords.
