How to play "Moving On With Grace" by Cooke Ashley on guitar

[Intro & Verses]
- The song employs a sequence of D, C, G chords for both the intro and verses,
  creating a narrative and reflective mood.
- Each chord should be strummed with a smooth, flowing motion, mirroring the
  story's unfolding nature.

- Focus on clear chord transitions. The D to C transition is pivotal and should
  be practiced to ensure it's smooth and seamless.
- When playing Bm, ensure your fingers are correctly positioned to avoid
  muting any strings, which is essential for the chord's melancholic tone.

[Chorus]
- The chorus uses the same chord progression but introduces A and F, adding
  depth to the emotional narrative.
- Strumming should be dynamic, intensifying to match the lyrical themes of
  moving on and personal reflection.

- Pay attention to the narrative shift in the lyrics, adjusting your playing
  to highlight these emotional changes, especially with the transition into
  A and back to G.

[Bridge & Instrumental]
- The bridge introduces an F chord, which can be challenging. Practice
  transitioning into and out of this chord smoothly.
- During the instrumental part, keep the rhythm steady. This section serves
  as a reflective pause in the song, so maintain a consistent tempo.

[Outro]
- The outro revisits the song's primary themes and chords, but with a slower,
  more deliberate pace to conclude the story.
- Strum gently here, allowing each chord to resonate, reflecting the lyrical
  content of finality and resolution.

[Common Mistakes]
- Rushing the tempo, especially during emotional parts of the song. Keep a
  steady rhythm to allow the story and emotions to unfold naturally.
- Not giving enough attention to the dynamics between verse, chorus, and
  bridge, which are crucial for conveying the song's emotional journey.

[Tips]
- Practice the chord transitions slowly at first, especially for the Bm and F
  chords, as they can be technically demanding.
- Use a metronome to keep your rhythm consistent, gradually increasing the
  speed as you become more comfortable.
