Learn how to play Wake Me Up by Avicii. This song has the tricky Bm barre chord in it, so I also offer an easier alternative by using a capo at 2nd fret. The strumming is also a challenge, but mainly because of the speed of the song. Take the time to get it right at a slower speed and you'll get it no problem!
