Mull of Kintyre

[Triple-o]

Mull of Kintyre, a song with simple chords and equally easy strumming style. Not sure why I never heard this song before.Anyway it is my intro into trying to sing and strum. Not an easy task, but after.about an hour I see it’s not as daunting as I thought it would be. So, “like a mist rolling in from the sea” I will take it slow and give it a shot.A few minutes a day out of my practice schedule shouldn’t “kill“  me.
 

So, if you’re new to the guitar, take a look at this song. With the chords A D and E  you can’t go wrong with this beginner song.

I agree, a wonderful song to play and sing along.

Hey @Triple-o this was the first song that I learnt to play and sing at the same time too! I started with all down strokes in 3/4 time.

Keep at it and don’t forget to record yourself so you can see which bits you have got and which bits you need to focus more on.

One thing I know about strum n sing, sometimes it takes longer to spit out the line, than then number of bars long in music

Just vamp an extra bar or two as long as you don't have someone singing with you and pushing to change to the next line

The problem happens early going from measure 5 to 6 A  chord to A where the verse is “ sea, my de ——-sire

Part of it is knowing the words of the song really well. Keep at it, you will get it.🎸😎 🎤
