Flashback # 7 – “Wild World”
Back in August 2003, I was still in Chicago but I got my first look at where I would end up moving to the coming New Year’s Day. Thinking back, it may actually have been my second or third look, but it’s hard to remember accurately. All I knew was that all sorts of things were going on and life was a bit of a roller coaster.
Looking back now, I’m tempted to say that some of the unsettledness had a subliminal effect in my choosing Cat’s Steven’s “Wild World” as a new Easy Songs for Beginners lesson, but I suppose that could just be me making a typical use of hindsight.
Whatever the reason, or lack of reason, it still makes a good lesson!
Wild World -Easy Songs for Beginners #23
We’re going to hit the ground running here. This may be the most involved beginners’ song that we’ve done yet but don’t let that deter you! While the focus of this lesson is on switching chords smoothly, you’ll also learn some cool flourishes and riffs and strumming patterns and even find a good practical use for that pesky C major scale!

Hi Brandon and Tony
And my apologies for not replying sooner. Things have been a lot busier than I’d planned this summer, but that turned out to be a good thing.
My thanks for your kind words and, as you might have noticed with the new lesson on Seven Nation Army, I’m trying to get back into the swing of things and post articles more regularly. Now if I can do the same with the Guitar Noise Podcasts, I’ll be all set!
Looking forward to chatting with you again.
Peace

I’ve missed your adding new songs. I hope you’re doing well.
