_ _ _ _ _ _ So this song has a lot of chords and that might be kind of intimidating you might be [C] playing through the song and
You know, you'll get through it, but you wouldn't have really learned anything if you just kind of grazed over the surface
So what you really need to do in a song with a lot of chords is just work on it a few chords at a time
The brain only has so much working space
So it's better to focus on a couple things say the first two to four chords
So in this song the first few chords are C.
Then [A] we go to a7 and then D minor
[C] Just work on those three chords.
Just make up a little song out of them _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
and [C] then I would practice that again and
_ _ You might spend your entire practice session just practicing those three chords
but at the end of it you'll be better at those three chords than you would have been if you just
Grazed over the whole song since it's a bit too much information to handle all like 13 chords or however many there are in this song _
_ _ _ The final verse goes like this _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Ab]
Now let's try [C] that together
