Now you know three chords.
Just like we did with the barre-C chord, spend some times rolling between G, C and D. Once you can play a measure of each chord consecutively without stopping the picking pattern it's time to learn your first song.
In the diagram below I have broken the old song "Skip To My Lou" into measures with a number for the chord you need to play over the lyrics and the count for each measure under the lyrics.
In the first line you play two open G rolls and sing, "Lost my partner, what'll I do?"
In the second line you barre across the seventh fret to make a D chord and sing, "Lost my partner, what'll I do?"
In the third line you play two open G rolls and sing, "Lost my partner, what'll I do?"
