Using Solid Chords to Accompany

Chords in a Song

And now we'll try to play all four chords as they might appear in a song. I've chosen a song you're probably familiar with called "Heart and Soul" which you might recall hearing in the movie Big starring Tom Hanks.

Practice playing the four chords over and over until you get used to moving your hand down and back up again. You can try it with either hand if you like. As you're playing, see if you can imagine how the tune goes and how it fits in with the accompaniment you're playing.
