About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

I had my favorite swing guitar player "swing" by the Cabin to show us some great basic swing chords to help out on basic songs such as Jingle Bells. These are all closed chords, so they work for any key you need without a capo!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

    There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.

  4. Theresa Nickels ·

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

  5. Deb Carrigan ·

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.
