Counting Stars

Post by jasondavis11 » Sun Apr 16, 2017 7:13 pm

I've been slowly trying to learn the Intermediate - Moderate version of Counting Stars (mixing in a few other songs since the going has been slow). The broken chords have been a real challenge, but now I see the Intermediate Bootcamp has added some broken chord lessons, which is great. Something I noticed in the Counting Stars bootcamp lesson (#31) is that the chords are slightly different than the song I purchased. In bootcamp the F broken chord is rooted at the F3 key, whereas in the purchased song it is the F2. I have noticed playing the bootcamp is quite a bit easier because my hand does not have to move as far. I was curious, is there a reason for the difference between the two?

Hi jasondavis11,

There are instances where we simplify song examples in the Bootcamp lessons to make the concepts easier to understand and play.
