I teach songs step by step as I would in a private lesson, including options to level up when you're ready or just keep it simple for now. Wine is always optional, but if you'd like, I invite you to enjoy a glass of wine with me while you learn! Check out the time stamps below to jump around as needed.
[Edit:] At 5:07 I say to stay on the C chord, but you actually switch back to a G chord. I do it correctly in the play through!

Hey thank you so much!! You're very welcome! 🎵

[@tilliefowler7963]

I have a question for you. Could I substitute G7 for G. The transition from F to G7 is easier for me.

[@UkuleleWineTime]

Hi Tillie - absolutely, great question. You can definitely substitute G7 for G, especially in the key of C. 😊
