Hey Gang,
Nesh has put together another REO Speedwagon song – Take It On The Run.


Take It On The Run is a song by American rock band REO Speedwagon off the band's ninth studio album 'Hi Infidelity' (1980).

It certainly is a gem for all guitarplayers, since it's a great song and relatively easy to play.

We go over the chords in the key of G thoroughly, aimed at the ones who are just starting their guitar playing journey.  Of course we take a look at the double time strumming as well, and go through the progression.

Thanks for this lesson! Pretty simple song but I was having trouble on some of the chord changes and I liked how you added the walk up/down stuff to it. Was also fun playing along with you!
