Keep the strumming strong
C   C    C     C    C   C  C   C(keep strumming C ) but singing C   C  C ect

Re: `First Song`

Great job! I like the idea of writing short songs with just a couple of chords in order for people to learn how to play.

Re: `First Song`

Great post. I'll use that.
I  have had a lot of fun with the New Orleans
tradtional, "IKO."  Bit hit for several bands.
It is
1-1-1-4
4-4-4-1
Strum it in all 12 keys.
I've been looking for the inspiration to work on the
minor keys. You just gave it to me.
