I Will Follow Him Sister Act

 The original “I Will Follow Him” is an upbeat pop song, famously featured in the movie Sister Act with a gospel choir arrangement. The version here is simplified and works well for solo acoustic guitar, making it accessible for beginners.

Chords Used:
C, G, Am, Em, F

Chord Transitions:
Practice switching between C and G, as this happens frequently. Transitioning from F to G and Am to Em may be tricky for beginners; move fingers slowly at first, aiming for accuracy over speed.

Strumming Pattern:
A simple down-down-up-up-down-up (D-D-U-U-D-U) strumming pattern fits well for a smooth, flowing feel. If this is difficult, use steady downstrokes to keep time.

Techniques and Tips:

  • Play slowly at first, especially through chord changes in the verse and chorus.
  • For the F chord, try the simplified version (xx3211) if barre chords are challenging.
  • Emphasize the chord changes by strumming slightly louder on the first downbeat of each new chord.
  • In the chorus and bridge, let the Am chord ring to highlight the emotional build-up.
  • Try to keep your wrist relaxed to ensure smooth strumming.

Enjoy the uplifting melody and focus on consistent rhythm; singing along can help keep your timing steady!
