NotesBeta

To learn The Mick Lloyd Connection - The Dance chords, begin by getting comfortable with these sequence: Em, C, D, G, C, Bm and C. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 66 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 134. Fine-tune the capo based on your vocal range, ensuring it complements the key of G Major.
