In this lesson I will show you how to play more than 40 popular songs using only four chords!
I recorded a big medley for the first video where I play and sing the songs over a full band arrangement. In the parts that follow you will learn how to play the chords, how to combine them into chord progressions and how to play them using different rhythms.
This lesson is suitable for complete beginners so everybody is welcome to check it and learn from it!
As soon as you complete this lesson, you will be able to play all these songs and never face Picnic Panic!
