Hey Reb, nice to have you here! I hope you enjoy the course and learn a lot. Let us know if you have any questions along the way!

Thank you for those kind words, Tracy! I appreciate it, and I’m glad to hear that you are learning a lot and enjoying the process!

Hey Cheryl,

This is the one I would use:

And I would use the G chord family alternative chords with the driving pattern.
Also each chord lasts for 2 measures for like the whole song, which makes it nice and simple.
Hope you enjoy!

Hey Janet, you could pluck the root note with your thumb on beat 1, then for beat 2, pluck the G and B string with your middle and ring finger, and beat 3, do the same thing (pluck G and B with your middl and ring), then repeat. It’ll have that waltz/sway kind of feel to it, same as the swing pattern, but with finger picking instead.

Hello Erik, glad to have you here!
I wish you all the best. Let me know if you have any questions or struggles along the way.

Welcome to the SG family, Tracy! I’m glad you’ve been able to pick up that guitar from the closet and dust it off. I hope this is your time to finally get to that level of playability you are looking for. You’ve got some great goals and motivators set. Best of luck to you!!
