PlayAlong Lesson 7

Preview of Lesson 8

Theory Note - I, IV and V Chords

To play along with many popular songs you can often get by with just three chords: I, IV, and V. In the key of G these chords are G(I), C(IV) and D(V). In the key of D the chords are D(I), G(IV), and A(V). In the key of C they are C(I), F(IV) and G(V). In this lesson we focus on the F and A chords in order to complete the trio of chords most often used in the C, D, and G chords.

In Lesson 8 we will review what we have covered so far, and we will introduce you to minor chords. We will use three songs to introduce a few minor chords and get used to playing them.
