How to play “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash

This month we are sharing the chords for “I Can See Clearly Now” by Johnny Nash, a great song that many artists have covered since its original release in 1972, with the most notable cover performed by Jimmy Cliff in 1993 for the soundtrack of the movie “Cool Runnings.” The song has strong Reggae influences, mostly for the fact that Johnny Nash had collaborated with Bob Marley in the past. “I Can See Clearly Now” reached the number one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in the year of its release in 1972.

I also happen to relate this song to my awesome dad, and It brings me back to when I was living in Boston while studying at Berklee, and my dad came to visit. We took the most incredible trip to New York on a $10 Chinatown Bus, and while staying at a hotel, this was the first song that we heard on the Alarm Clock when we woke up to the radio. Ever since, this has been ‘our song,’ and I’m sure he can relate as well!

I love how Marcos lets me learn so many songs, not just one! I like how he gives me compliments. It’s really fun when Marcos does the bass clef with the left hand and I get to make up my own song that goes with it for a warm up. It’s fun because I get to make up my own songs. I love the sound of the piano!

I really like that we get to pick what songs we want to learn in Marcos’s guitar class. I also love that he is compassionate and lets us progress at our own pace. Marcos knows EVERYTHING about instruments, and I’m glad he can share some of it with me. I’m glad that I get to learn how to read, write, and play music for the guitar. It is a lot of fun when Marcos and I play the guitar together!

I highly recommend 123 Rock to anyone looking for a music teacher!

Both of my children love their music lessons with Marcos. They look forward to their music lessons each week and come home eager to practice their new pieces. I especially love that he teaches them to compose their own pieces and inspires their musical creativity. Marcos is always positive and encouraging with my children, and he has a knack for bringing out their best. I highly recommend 123 Rock to anyone looking for a music teacher!
