Maid Behind The Bar – slow, medium and fast playalong track for guitarists with on-screen chords

Here is the second playalong video from Folk Friend! This one is a classic Irish session reel called Maid Behind the Bar. Following some user feedback I changed the chord order in this one. You will now get two rounds of the slow version with simple chords and two with substitutions. This will be followed by two rounds at medium speed with simple substitutions and two with more advanced, jazzy chords. The fast version then does the same.
