Unlock G C D and Switch Between Them with This Wonderful Tonight Easy Guitar Lesson

Welcome back to Day 12 of 30 Days of Guitar! We’re finally ready to learn a 3 chord song on guitar! This Wonderful Tonight Easy Guitar Lesson will show you the 3 basic shapes: G C D and a simple trick for switching between them. We’ll also add another useful strumming pattern to the mix as we play the Wonderful Tonight chord progression.

Adding the C chord to make G C D

These basic forms of G C and D are all 1 finger away from each other. With 3 chord shapes, there are 3 potential switches you’ll need to be comfortable with…

Don’t forget the chord switching process!

  1. Pick a 2 chord song
  2. Practice the shapes with “silent switching”
  3. Go through all 4 levels of “the chord switching game”
  4. Practice the chords in the context of the song you chose in step 1
