Cool Change Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Cool Change chord chart by Little River Band. This was a request from one of the students in my 7 Level Guitar System. I admit I am not familiar with this song at all. It is mainly a piano song which can sometimes make it hard to translate to guitar, but I will do my best to provide some basic instruction since I don’t know the song myself.
The chords overall are easy in that they are all open chords. Let’s talk about a couple of strumming patterns options that will allow you to play with this song.
