Hợp Âm Chuẩn
(This is just a basic chord progression. An advanced players can spice it up by adding melodic bass passages,)
(such as runs or alternating bass lines. A detailed explanation on it is at the bottom.)
(The original key is C. But it's easier to utilize the open strings when played in A with a capo on the 3rd.)
(Here are the simple chord voicings)
