Week 3

 

New Chord

Dm

Hold the F chord you learned last week, then place your 3rd finger alongside it on the next string.

 

Try practicing changing, slowly at first, between F and Dm by lifting and replacing finger 3:

F - Dm

Now try practicing changing, slowly at first, between F and G7 by holding finger 1 on the E string and pivoting the other two fingers across to the C and A strings:

Dm - G7

Now have a go at the C - Dm - G7 chord progression:

C - Dm - G7

 

Finally, the C - F - G7 progression:

C - F - G7

 

Jamaica

Once you feel comfortable with these chord progressions, try playing (and maybe singing along!) to the first two verses of Jamaica Farewell:
