Most of the song cycles through C – FM7 – G – C (I – IVmaj7 – V – I in C major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F, Fm and Fm7 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
