"Ringing" in the New Year with a basic 1-4-5 progression
Here is a basic guitar finger picking accompaniment for a 1-4-5 progression to "Ring in the New Year". Try playing or singing the melody to Auld Lang Syne along with the guitar part. If you can sing and play, try singing the melody and finger picking the accompaniment. This is a fine example of a song that only uses the diatonic 1, 4 and 5 chords.
