It doesn’t matter whether you have an electric guitar package or just an acoustic guitar with no guitar amplifier the one thing they both have in common is you need to know how to play chords. Practice can get pretty monotonous just playing your scales and simple chords.
How about spicing up your practice with a few songs that involve playing just 3 chords. Can you play a D G & C chord, if you can you play “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. How about playing a D G & A chord for the song “Start Me Up” by the Rolling Stones.
If your feeling adventurous try playing “Peaceful Easy Feeling” by The Eagles, it a step up to a song with 4 chords but with a real easy pace to it. The tabs for these songs can be found on line. Playing these songs is a way to spice up your practice and keep your interest while doing your scales.
