From my Theory Page-Practicing songs in every key will accelerate your learning to play the chords. To that end, here are 5 songs in every key, that use progressively more interesting (harder) chords. I added the baritone versions 3/6/23:
• Amazing Grace   BAR-Play this song in every key and learn all the major chords and dominant 7ths. When you've learned the chords, play without chord diagrams here.
• Five Foot Two   BAR-If you can play through this exercise, you will be able to play major and dominant 7th chords in every key. Note that the keys change in the order of the Circle of 4ths (also called the Circle of 5ths). Five Foot Two (no chord diagrams)
• Why Do Fools Fall In Love   BAR-With this exercise, you will play (also through the Circle of 4ths) majors, minors, dominant 7ths, and minor 7ths in all keys. Why Do Fools Fall In Love (no chord diagrams)
• Tiptoe Through The Tulips   BAR-Practice this song through all the keys (around the circle of 4ths) and you add diminished, augmented, and minor 6th chords to your repertoire! Tiptoe Through The Tulips (no chord diagrams)
• It's A Blue World   BAR-A beautiful jazz tune from 1939, popularized later by the Four Freshman, which provides an excellent exercise for major 9ths, minor 9ths, dominant 9ths, altered dominant 7ths, and major 7ths. It's a Blue World (no chord diagrams). For those who are not familiar with this song, click here
