This ‘Jamming’ section of the Intermediate course aims to answer any questions you have so far and consolidate your skills and knowledge you have gained. Here we Jam in the key of F Major.
Song sin the The Key of F can be common, particularly songs written on piano as it is quite a friendly key for piano. As guitarists, we often choose to use a capo at first fret to make the key of F seem like the more guitar friendly key of E, such as in my tutorial for Hey Jude by The Beatles.
