Let's start jamming Selah - Id Rather Have Jesus chords, practice the chord sequence G#, C#, G#, F#, C# and F#. A strategic approach would be to train at 42 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 85. For a balanced pitch, adjust the capo with respect to your voice and the song's key: C# Major.
