White Ripple Community Band January 25th, 2016

The White Ripple Community Band worked on barre chords for the second week in a row, and now all the guitar players have left hands like champs. I've been practicing the past two weeks with the rest of the class and I find it gets slightly less awful each time I give it a go.

We worked on two songs that used four basic barre chord shapes. We charted them out and they are available here for your reference.

For Groovin', we used C and Dm barre chord shapes. Here are the song sheets.

For Crystal Blue Persuasion, we used G and Am barre chord shapes. Here are the song sheets.

 

 

 

Then we mercifully took a break and let the guitar players rest up!

 

We finished off the night by belting out two more songs:

 

The Way You Do the Things You Do by Smokey Robinson and Robert Rogers

 

 

 

Roadhouse Blues by The Doors
