Welcome to day 9 of this FREE 10 day acoustic guitar series!

Today, we're looking at how we can play a full C chord and the song example 'Hey Ya' by Outkast. This is my number 1 recommended song to get used to the C major chord and common chord changes.

We'll also look at how to play the most common strumming pattern for popular songs!
