Let's start jamming Great Golden Gospel Hits - Sit Down chords, familiarize yourself with these chords - Bm, D, G, D, G, Dm, D and Dm in sequence. A strategic approach would be to train at 33 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 68. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: D Minor.
