pedal down racing

I need to get to

How to play Waitin All Day: key, chords and progression

Waitin All Day by Riley Green keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 6 chords: G, Am7, C, Em7, Am and Em.

Most of the song cycles through G – Am7 – C – G (V – vi7 – I – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
