For students interested in accompaniment, you may now begin introducing any I-IV-V7 song (using A, D, and E7), if the student is comfortable with the D chord and is switching chords quickly. For students who are having trouble switching chords quickly, you may want to wait until next lesson. At that point, you may prefer D, G, and A7 to be your I-IV-V7. Begin with the set of chords that the student is most comfortable with, learn a few songs in that key, and then go on to a different key or songs that involve more chords.
