Getting Started - by BassBounty
To learn Billy Joel - Zanzibar chords with lyrics, delve into these chords to get the song's feel: F, E, Am, B, Dm, C, F, Cm, Am, Dm. A strategic approach would be to train at 73 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's natural tempo of 147. With an eye on the song's key C, set the capo that best suits your vocal range.
