Epic Outro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably heard a similar version of this outro before. It\u2019s based on the IV, I, and ii7<\/sup> chords:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, test this outro with a song you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also try playing a straightforward scale as a run to end your outro. Jes\u00fas also adds a vi chord (Eadd2) after his outro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
