Guitar/G Em C D/Song Examples

(4) G Em C D

At first, practice mainly songs with the chord combination G-Em-C-D. Especially prefer those where each chord is held for two bars. After a very short time, the change will become automatic and you can focus more on singing. The chord sequence G-Em-C-D makes the following lesson with the quick chord change easier. The other suggested songs will be for repetition later.

Tip:	Not all songs can be played in one lesson. The rest are for later repetitions of the teaching material; for latecomers who have missed a lesson so that the others don't get bored, and as a break filler when some of the upcoming lessons become too strenuous and you want to play something that will be easy again.
