Chapter5 - Three Basic Chords 

These three chords are very useful. You can play some songs with only these three chords.

Have you heard these sounds before?  Yeah.  Let's play "Tahuwa-Huwai", a Hawaiian traditional song, by using them.
These words are my original words. I suggest you enjoy this song with your own words.
