17 If You’re Happy and You Know It, and How a capo changes a song
Here is one more fun song to add to your repertoire. Once you’ve accomplished Lesson 15, this should be pretty easy. It has the same chords you know, just with a lot of changes. Take your time and repeat this, and any lesson, as much as you need to.
16 Volver Volver
This Mexican favorite is a great crowd pleaser. Have fun working on this one. It has all chords that you know well by now, A, E7, D, & A7. If you have trouble working on this, because of the Spanish, it is not critical to learn this one to continue progressing with my methods. You can move on to lesson 17. But, you should give it a shot. Great fun!
15-2 Continue Blue Clear Sky
Now that you’ve done lessons 15, and 15-1, working close up on chord changes, you can do this lesson and work on playing Blue Clear Sky, slowly. Don’t rush this one. It’s the hardest thing you’ve learned so far. If this is too difficult, spend more time doing lesson 15-1, Chord Close Up, to improve your changes.
15 Start Blue Clear Sky with new chord F#M
