Guitar Chords Of Death

I’m still working on mastering G, Em, C and D7th. And these chords might be the death of me!

Basic Guitar Chords

I was at my parents house for Christmas. My father taught me some new chords. G, E minor, C, and D7th. Apparently these chords are pretty dang popular together. And a lot of hit (older) hit songs use them.

How To Sing And Play Guitar At The Same Time

Listen. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can pat my head and rub my belly at the same time.
But as I’ve started to try and sing along while practicing “About A Girl,” I end up feeling like an incompetent idiot! It’s hard.
One of my consultants for this project told me… [...]
