Unforgettable by Nat King Cole

Hey Folks,
Today we add a second lesson on Unforgettable, this one focuses on just strumming through the chords in a couple different keys.
This lesson was inspired by a couple students who wanted to sing and accompany themselves on the guitar in a somewhat simplified way. We look at the chord progression in a couple different keys (although the song itself is in two different keys), and just use a basic strumming pattern throughout.
You really need to be comfortable with barre chords in the E and A families to tackle this, as well as a few standard jazz voicings. There are multiple ways of playing most of the chords presented so the difficulty level is a bit variable.
