Let's start jamming Lynyrd Skynyrd - (2001/Live At Fox Theatre/Re-edit) Sweet Home Alabama chords, practice the chord sequence A, E, D, A, Am and D. A strategic approach would be to train at 68 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 137. For a balanced pitch, adjust the capo with respect to your voice and the song's key: D# Major.
