Working With Youth Bands- Same Chords

An easy way to learn several songs with your praise team is to use songs that use the same chords and chord structure. Teach your team a basic chord pattern like G C D C. Once they can play that consistently and in time then reveal the songs that go along with that.

For instance those chords can be used for Trading My Sorrows, Every Move I Make or Lord I Lift Your Name on High. As they progress you can add in the other chords that make it sound even better but this way you can get started quickly.
