One chord at a time

I progress. I really ought to go back to "Do a Deer," because I'll say one thing for it, it really was giving me a solid sense of where the notes are. However, people seem big on chords, so I've started learning the major chords. I am up to G, D, and C, which lends me the ability to play "Go Cubs Go." It's not bad practice at moving your hand around, either.

G/D/C also gives you plenty of the chords to Queen's "I'm in Love with My Car," though I'm so slow that I don't quite hit everything on time. Amazing what a difference a day makes, though. Two days ago, I could only hit about two chords per verse and kept shouting at Roger (Taylor, the drummer, who sang lead on this song -- extremely underestimated vocalist) to slow down. But today I can hit about two a line. Not always on time, but still...!

Then I got the bright idea to try "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," which is full of major chords. Ha. Do you know how fast that song's tempo is?

As I always say when eating dim sum, it's a marathon, not a sprint. More practice. Today, maybe another chord. A or B, I think.
