UCL2.2 - WEEK 5
"PINK PONY CLUB"

Welcome back!! This week you we will be exploring PINK PONY CLUB by Chapell Roan, released as a single in 2020 but making chart success in 2023 on her debut album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Chapell sings in the key of F# major which is extremely high, so for sing along sake we've changed the original key to D major - much simpler chords too you will be happy to know!

CHORDS

There are only 4 chords contained in this song, which repeat in this order throughout the entire song, which is great - but to make the smooth transitions to allow the single strums to really ring out - try playing the barred shapes for each of them as follows:  (Blue labelled chords are for left hand players)
If you find it difficult to sustain these barred shapes throughout the entire song - feel free to return to the open positions for the verses, chorus and solo sections. Watch the video below to see how to play the barred chords effectively
