It took many many singalongs and music sessions to start to spot patterns in songs that people around me played...
This is the cheatsheet I would write out, memorise and use when I'd sit in on future sessions...
If a player around you starts a song with:
There are some SUPER predictable patterns of chord progressions that they may play....
Now what happens if they play a Queen song? Or something with a bazillion chords?
Then you do your best, make a note to go learn that song so you'll be more singalong-saavy next time someone pulls that song out..
But you know yourself, in general:
- many songs contain 3-4 chords
- those chords are typically open chords
- some open chords are played more than others...
And that's where this cheatsheet comes in so handy...
