In this lesson I'll show & explain how to play "The Wind" by Cat Stevens, from his 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat. This is a short but fantastic Cat Stevens song, combining fingerstyle verses with strummed chorus. I'll explain the chords, talk through the fingerpicking (main riff included), and break down the verse and chorus sections. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks to Patreon supporter Nat for requesting this song... it was a favorite of mine back in college when I began to learn guitar, and it was very rewarding to finally learn it these past few weeks.
