After finding Justin’s lesson, and in the spirit of doing a one take, I grabbed my guitar and did an improvisation on the spot, no strumming pattern, no practice, just went with it. Easiest and fastest song I ever learned. I already knew the chords and two first verses.
Happy Holidays!
Very nice, Sandy, it’s great when you can strum along to a song right away. There are hundreds, thousands, of songs, that use very simple chord progressions, so now that you’re comfortable with open chords there will be a ton of songs you can play. If it’s in a key you don’t like you can use a capo, or transpose the song to a key that fits your voice (if you can count, you can transpose!).
1 suggestion to keep in mind is that keeping the rhythm is the backbone of music. Count out your beats, especially on a couple of transitions to / from chorus - the first essential IMO is to be aware that you’re very occasionally missing / adding a beat.
Happy holidays to you! And keep playing!! (That’ll be my New Years resolution - play more guitar 
)
That’s awesome. It’s a great feeling when you can “pick up” a song quickly like that, and clear evidence of progress as a musician. Well done.
A bit of Sandy music on Christmas day - very nice! Thanks for sharing this - and Merry Christmas!
Very well done! Thanks
Thanks everyone. Just listening to the message of The Queen which I watch every year. How I love that song. God save our precious Queen. I will sure miss her when she goes. Enjoy the Holidays.
Sandy in the swing. What’s not to like.
@mari makes useful comment for a few tweaks to work on.
She also says what I would about the step up you’ve made - being able to play a song at the drop of a hat from a few chords is a massive hurdle to have overcome. And the more you learn the more you go on learning. 
Very cool Sandy, like Johny Cash type of flow and well done on your one/first take! Have a hapoy Christmas.
What a magic feeling Sandra to be able to do this. You look and sound so groovy 
Happy happy times, Sandra, picking up a song and being able to play and sing to deliver that rendition so quickly. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Thanks everyone… I don’t know what came over me…ah ah. I remember hearing Justin say something like: you don’t always need to know the strumming pattern, have some fun, improvise. There’s no rules.
I feel that with enough practice and consolidation, and the perfect structure of the lessons, if followed of course, building blocks form and one day things snap into place. It is liberating to just try it.
Well done, great stuff Sandy. A few chords, a strumming pattern and off you go. Hundreds of songs await!
