How to Analyze Chords in an C Major Song

Now ,I just want to take a second to explain all these chords here. Now, all these chords you can find if you search for My First Fake Book. Not all of them are out of C major and I will explain to you where to search and what to reference to as we go through the actual tune. This will really help you because you will be able to go through a piece and figure out how to find out the chords and play the melody along with it. So, you can take all this stuff and put it together. Again, I am going to have to reference you to other lesson plans that I have done. We don't have enough time to get it all in this lesson plan. All you have to do is open an extra window and search around on Expert Village. It will all come together. Again, all these chords are listed under My First Fake Book. We will go through and play through the whole tune. So, there's a lot of chords in there, but you are really only going to have to search for five or six chords. We use some chords twice and some chords come out of other chords. We will get all that information to you as we go through and play our piece.
