Let's start jamming Eric Clapton, J.J. Cale - Ride The River chords, practice the chord sequence Am, G, Am, G, C, G, C, F and C. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 46 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 92. Align the capo with your vocal depth and chord choice, bearing in mind the song's original key: C Minor.
