Better Times Will Come

We are learning Better Times Will Come, a glorious and uplifting song written by Janis Ian not long after losing her dear friend and fellow singer-songwriter John Prine to Covid. She has generously shared her song with musicians everywhere, to learn this song, record their version and share it with others.

We play this catchy three chord song in two keys (G and A) and the video concludes with a short strumming tutorial.
