Roger Whittaker was a Kenyan/British singer-songwriter and musician. Internationally he is best known for his 1971 single 'The Last Farewell', which became his signature song throughout his career.
The arrangement was done in the key of Eb, and for that we take a look at how to play it in the key of C (Capo III) as he does, as well as the key of D (Capo I).
We break down the usual suspects such as the chords in both keys, each with their own little challenges and of course the strumming, and progression.
