Proud Mary — Thread 3 — Song Continuity

Week 3 — Connecting the Song

Week 3 is about putting everything together.

You’ll work through a guided slow-down playthrough of the song, focusing on continuity — moving from section to section without stopping, rushing, or breaking the groove.

This is also where you can explore:

  • the solo, as a melodic extension of the song

  • the progression using bar chords, reinforcing timing, hand control, and consistency

The goal isn’t flash or speed.

It’s control.

As always, do only what you can.

The solo and bar chords are optional — there for players who want the extra stretch, not requirements for progress.

You’re learning how the chords, melody, and solo all live inside the same musical space — and how to stay grounded rhythmically as the song unfolds.

No pressure.

No overwhelm.

Just clear direction, steady tempo, and deeper confidence.

This is where the song starts to feel playable from top to bottom.
