Bo Diddley 1964

This is my favorite. It's not in a key you can play in but it's really funky!

Bo Diddley

This version is slower than the original in the video below so it's easier to play along with. It's in the key of E. So you can play your E chord for this one. Or you can just play your open low E note along with it (cause it's an E chord, right?), just to learn the rhythm.



This one below is in the key of F. I couldn't find one in A, like we were playing it in class. So find your F note and chord and play it along with the song. It's faster than we played it class but do your best. At least try to get into the rhythm.

The Coconut Song

The Coconut Song by Harry Nilsson

This is a:
1) One-chord song -> C (C7 actually but just play "C")
2) Alternating bass note (I-> V) or ("Root" -> V)

Listen to the alternating bass, that's all the song is. Play C chord and try to copy it, and play along.
