Let these flashcards help!
Which chords go together?
In song after song, students notice that the same chords show up again and again.
The "Key of -" sheets are a good way to keep track of what are the usual chords to expect in any song, once you know what the main chord is.
There are sheets for all the major keys, A through G.
