Chinquapin Hunting, Part 5: Basic Rhythm and Chords
 

If you’ve gotten a few tunes under your belt, it’s probably time for you to start thinking about playing them with other people. Which means that you’ll need to know some chords to backup someone else when they’re playing the melody. In this lesson, Sharon shows you basic D, G, and A chords and a simple bass/strum pattern, so you can play rhythm to “Chinquapin Hunting.” She’ll also give you advice on changing chords smoothly, with a couple of exercises to practice. Then you can practice playing through the complete chord pattern to “Chinquapin Hunting” with Sharon, either on this video or on the practice tracks.
