You’ll start out by learning how to use your capo correctly and take an in-depth look at its usefulness. Afterward, you’ll start learning the chords you’ll need to know for this song. There will be several new chords, so take your time in learning them and getting used to changing in between them, since this really is the basis of this song. It’s not difficult, just takes a bit of practice to get used to the chord progression. Have your tabs handy when you practice, so you don’t have to memorize the sequence of chords.
