Since you are now fully equipped with Chords and you understand Chord Progressions, let me show you how to play “How Great is Our God” in the key of C of Major.

Remember that In Key C the primary chords are 1, 4 & 5 of the C Major Scale

C Major triad (CEG) =  I

Please ensure you set your Metronome as you did in the previous lesson.

Then play chords under each word for the exact number of beats as indicated below;

sing with me How great is our God

                                    I                       I
