You guys are doing great...I can tell you're practicing! =) Hopefully by the end of our time together you'll be able to play some songs on your own for your personal worship. Here are some things to practice this upcoming week:
1) I gave you a few chord progressions in class today to practice specific chords within different keys. I'm going to write them below. Start w/ 4 downbeats and decrease until you can do each chord per downbeat. You can actually switch the order of the chords within the same key and they should sound relatively ok. That's another way to practice.
(key: G) G C D Em D G
(C) C F G Am C Dm G F C
(A) A D E A
(D) D G Em A D
2) Prax either Hosanna or Give Us Clean Hands. Start w/ practicing chord changes, then add in the all-downbeat strum, and then try to add in the praise strum w/ some singing! =)
3) BARRE chords! These are very difficult. Shoot for being able to play F#m and F. It will actually take more than a week to get this to sound good. Keep trying until you can get each string to sound clearly.
4) Practice through the chords of As the Deer. We will use this song to learn finger picking next week.
I know this is a lot of HW. Prioritize #4 because we will be using this song next week. I'm just giving you the others in case you have spare time and also to give you stuff to work on when the class ends.
Great! Btw, if you want to play a song and have not yet told me, please let me know!
