Well, a few folks seemed to enjoy Greensleeves, so I thought I would post this classic song as well. If you do not know the title, you will know the song as soon as you start playing it.
My 7 year old daughter has been practicing this on piano, she has been playing about 9 months now and is pretty darn good. :D
This song is in 3/4 time, but is super simple, straight quarter notes throughout the song for the most part. Except for two little runs, you play this song by picking simple Em, B7, G, and D open chords arpeggio style.
This is my little version, it is not the complete song, but sounds pretty to me.
