Song #04: Free Fallin' - Tom Petty

This one uses pretty much the same chord progression for the whole song. A key tip when you're playing on your own in a party situation is to keep things more mellow for the verses and bring it up for the chorus. That way, when it's quiet, people will be able to sing along and look at their phones to get the lyrics out for the verse.

Song #03: Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrison

This is the tune, right? Everybody wants to sing along with this one because they don't have to know the words. They can just hum along. It's also a grower. You can learn it bit by bit.
