In today's breakdown and guitar lesson we learn how to play "Secret O' Life" by James Taylor from the album JT. In my experience, learning Taylor's guitar parts are uplifting, soothing and instructive. Originally discovered and signed by the Beatles, JT's fingerstyle guitar parts and chord voicings combine elements and techniques from rock, folk, jazz and bossa nova. While this is on the more advanced side, learning Taylor's parts are incredibly rewarding and beneficial to your playing and fingerstyle abilities.
