It's worth thinking about. Especially on those days when the skill you are working on seems so hard. I think one reason I play music is because I love learning new things, and there is no end to the learning with music.
Things to remember when practicing on My Girl:
There are only 2 basic chord progressions in the song: I, IV, I, IV and I ii, IV, V. It helps to think about this before you start practicing.
On the Modulation: After the last (key of C) Chorus, play: One measure each, C, then F (sing hey, hey, hey on beat 3).
We use a whimpy- strong strum on this.
Work on learning the words. It will make the the song more fun, and easier to play and sing.
The Middle - riffers are Connie, Carla, Pam, Melody, Charley, Carolyn. Everyone else is playing the chords and the reggae rhythm on three strings. Remember that the Riffers do the singing and Chorders do not sing at all. It's just too hard at this point.
For an ending on Brown Eyed Girl, we'll tacet on the last D7 and the last G
Next week we'll work on These Boots are Made for Walking with riffs.
