Legendary Rocker Mark Farner Debuts ‘Farner Chords’

Video Series Launches with “People, Let’s Stop The War”

Michigan’s legendary rock and roll guitarist and frontman Mark Farner is launching a long-awaited instructional video series. Farner Chords, a new video series where Farner gives a detailed look at the chords and techniques behind the hits, kicks off with “People, Let’s Stop The War”. The single first appeared in the 1971 Grand Funk Railroad album, “E Pluribus Funk”.

The video series is free and can only be accessed online at MarkFarner.com. Additional videos will roll out monthly.

Mark says …“I thought it was important to launch this video series to pay homage to all my musician friends around the world, I’ve had many tell me they love my music and dig playing the songs, but I noticed that some play the wrong chords in their versions. I didn’t want to charge for these instructional videos because the freedom that music brings is exampled in the gift. They are for those musicians who desire to learn how to play the song from one who wrote it.”

Please welcome guitarist/keyboardist/singer/songwriter best known as the original lead singer/songwriter and lead guitarist for the hard rock band Grand Funk Railroad, which he co-founded in 1969 and his current group Mark Farner’s American Band … Rock Patriot Brother Mark Farner…
