Let's start jamming Lynyrd Skynyrd - (Live At Fox Theatre, Atlanta/1976) Saturday Night Special chords, practice the chord sequence E, B, E, A, D, A and E. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 60 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 121. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: E Minor.
