Guitar: Campfire-Diploma Completion: Song Examples: An Open Learning Guide

With these songs you leave the beginner status. The songs are not particularly difficult. But they contain all the essential learning content of the campfire diploma. (6 chords G D C Em Am A Lagerfeuerschlag and the quick change of fingering)

American Pie (Don McLean) ©Very demanding and almost impossible to play without a chord sheet.(G D) Em Am C Em D -(G D) Em Am C Em C D - Em Am Em Am (C G) Am C D(G D) Em C D(G D) Em C D (G C) GRef:(G C)(G D)3xEm A Em DStrophe 2: G Am C Am Em D(G D) Em Am C Em A D - Em D Em D (C G) A C D(G D) Em C D Am C(G D) Em C D (G C)(G D) If you have practiced "When you say nothing at all" before this song, then the chorus is very easy. Practice the chord progression (G-D)-Em and (C-G)-Am or (C-G)-A dozens of times in a row beforehand until you can memorize this chord progression with a quick change of fingering.

Boulevard of broken Dreams (Green Day) © Em G D A (several times) Chorus C G D A (3x) C G B7- (B7 can also be played as a D' without the ring finger, if only the lower 3 strings are struck). On C in the chorus, only perform two downbeats and only play the campfire strumming pattern again on "shadow".
