When beginning a song you will hardly ever just take off from the first melody note. Instead you will start playing something to give the listener or others who are playing along (and
yourself for that matter) an idea of what is coming up. There are many ways of doing this. One of the most common is to play a few measures from the end of the chorus of the song. The
first three examples below are generally known as “pick-up notes” and work well in many songs. Each of these are meant to be played in the key of G with the first chord of the song being
a G chord.
