Return from Helsinki (Ian Stephenson, United Kingdom)

This beautiful tune is great to work on developing the skill of “seeing” what chords are likely in a tune, starting with major and relative minor chords. I present a hand separation version that is challenging but beautiful and much fun to play. And I also present an arrangement using a variety of ideas. 

Recorded on Charm City Junction

It's like having private mini-tutorials from Ken that you can watch over and over!
