goals: easy chords #diminish`returns

Goal: faster progress at each step.

— for a melody-n-sing song

  1. download a simple song. Ignore anything but the simple melody.
  2. learn the right hand melody.
  3. learn to figure out the left hand single-finger chords.
  4. .. major milestone if I can quickly figure this out.
  5. optionally break up the chord
  6. optionally expand the single-finger chord into 2- or 3-finger chords

On the right hand, I can also download a richer melody, and hopefully the chords are unchanged. This is often “diminishing returns”

— for a chords-n-sing song, like guitar singers
Suitable if the melody takes too much time to pick up.

  • left hand plays single-finger base
  • right hand chords
