In this lesson, we will work on 3 songs using the chords we have learned so far.

 

Exercise 4A

 

We will use the song The Only Exception to practice switching between G, C & Dm7 chords.

• Set the metronome to 3/4 and 100.
• Strum at every first beat. Recall each / represents a downward strum.
• Increase the tempo to 110 & then 120 when you get more comfortable at changing between the chords.

• Strum at every beat. Recall each / represents a downward strum.
• Increase the tempo to 90 & then 100 when you get more comfortable at changing between the chords.
