An approach on playing "Start A Fire" by Stephen. Suitable for beginners. This is the full version (from
his live play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2fzRdbjQu0). Please listen to the song to understand the
timing as it could be difficult getting used to. I am still a beginner/learning and it's my first time
interpreting chords, so it's not exactly great. But hope you enjoy it!
