Jumper Chords & Guitar Lesson
Blind. As a total 90s gal, this song is super gun to play. I used to do it live with my band and it was always a crowd pleaser.
The other great thing about this song it that even though the strumming can be a little intricate, the chords are not. This song uses the Fmaj7 instead of the F barre chord, so that adds a little more ease of use.
So before we get in the actual chord chart, let’s talk about some strumming patterns that we can use to play along with this super cool guitar song.

He does play variations off this strumming patterns so you will not hear this throughout the entire song. Sometimes he does 1 e + a 2 (DUDUD) and other variations. As with songs at this strumming level, there is a lot of improvisation so keep that in mind as your dial in your strumming.
