How to Complete the Assignment:

Complete the following in a recording of yourself:

• Exercise 1: Play along with the backing track

• Exercise 2: Play along with the backing track, but make sure to play the rhythm on the music and write in the counts

• Exercises 3 & 4: Play along as usual, but make sure to use the proper strumming direction (up vs. down)

• Exercise 5: Listen to the chords and write them down (also called transcribing) using roman numerals. Each chord will only be either a I, IV, V, or vi chord

• Exercise 6: Write and play your own chord progression using the Diatonic Chord Progression Video and the Diatonic Chord Chart.
  Make sure your progression either starts or ends on a stable chord (the chords closest to the top). Make sure to add your own rhythm at least once.
