First up is “Leaving on a Jet Plane” by John Denver. This song has a very simple chord progression and is a great choice for beginners. In the tutorial, you’ll learn how to play the chords and the strumming pattern to make the song sound just right.

Next, we have “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” by Bob Dylan. This song has a similar chord progression to “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” but with a different strumming pattern. This classic tune has been covered by countless artists and is a great song to add to your repertoire.

Finally, we have “The Joker” by Steve Miller Band. This song has a slightly different chord progression, but still uses the G, C, and D chords. The tutorial covers the chords and strumming pattern, as well as the iconic guitar riff that runs throughout the song.
