New series of lessons showing you simple songs using the Major Scale!

Tried to do '10 songs' as that's my 'thing', but I couldn't cut this list down as they are all useful. The songs will be...

Starter song- Hot Crossed Buns (Very easy, just 3 notes)
1. Ode to Joy
2. Falling Slowly (already filmed)
3. Lean On Me
4. Twinkle Twinkle little star
5. Happy Birthday 
6. Oh When The Saints
7. The Chain
8. La Bamba
9. Duelling banjos
10. Rhiannon (major scale harmony lesson)
11. Let Her Go (Bonus song, not technically in C as we'll need to use a capo!)

Here's lesson 1 showing you the first 5 notes on the thinnest 2 strings- this is pretty easy and everyone should be able to do it- give this lessons a go- especially if you want to play any of the songs above!

THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU SO MUCH!..
IVE LEARNT ALOT. BETWEEN THESE 2 LESSONS ( THIS ONE & THE NEXT ONE )...
I ALLREADY KNEW THIS SCALE FOR SOME REASON..
AND I USED TO PRACTICE IT.
BUT I HAS NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS FOR OR ANOUT..
YOU'VE HELPED ME IN SO MANY WAYS HERE...
( JUST to understand how it's connected to a " C " chord .. how there's actually an "octave!" In there!... The actual notes.. each note..which I was very vague on . But this is giving me very good learning practice in a practical way of the music alphabet & HOW TO REMEMBER!!.. The idea of playing each note without gaps!!!. Making me find new appriciation for each sound!..).
AND ! ON-TOP OF ALL OF THAT THE DO RAY ME CORRECT SPELLING/ ORDER & READING MUSIC AS I DO
SERIOUSLY AMAZING LESSONS...
SO MUCH VALUE PACKED IN . I APPRECIATE UR SOUL VERY MUCH FOR SHARING .
BLESS YOU!!!! 🤩
