The second chorus of “Roxanne” is a lot like the first one, with some variations in terms of the form - the progression just keeps repeating until the song fades! In this lesson, we’ll show you how to play this section as well as provide you a suggestion for ending the song without a fade.

You’ll be playing:

  • Bb5, Eb5, F5, G5, C5 and F5
  • Eighth note strumming
  • Chord anticipations
  • String muting
