Singing to a Guitar Chord Chart

Video Transcript

"In this clip, we're going to learn how to play and sing along to chart of music. We're going to do this playing This Little Light of Mine, which is a public domain song, an folk tune that most of you know, and it's so old that it's in the public domain and anyone can record it right now. So, it only uses--a really simple way to play this song, is to only use three chords. And we can use the three chords that we already learned: A, D, and E. So, on my chart over here it says that I start with A, so I'm going to start with A. And I can do the simple strumming we learned. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine, this little--it tells me to change to D, so I change to D, I'm going--and it's telling me to go to A, so I'm trying to think ahead of what's next, I stay on A for a little bit, I'm going to let it shine, and it's telling me to do let it shine, let it shine into E, let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine, and D is my next chord, I'm going to let it shine, my little light mine, I'm going to let it shine, let it A, then comes E, let it shine."
