In this lesson, I’m breaking down Rosanna by Toto—an absolute classic with some slick guitar parts! We’ll go through the full rhythm guitar sections, from the G major vamp to those sweet triad moves and color chords like Fadd9 and E♭maj.

This one’s not for total beginners, but if you know your way around barre chords and want to level up with more colorful voicings, this is a great one to tackle.
