Let's start jamming John Mellencamp - Check It Out chords, practice the chord sequence C, G, C, F and G. A strategic approach would be to train at 52 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 105. For a balanced pitch, adjust the capo with respect to your voice and the song's key: C Major.
