Here's how to play 505 by Arctic Monkeys from their 2007 album Favourite Worst Nightmare. This is possibly one of the most popular two chord songs ever. Both those chords are minor; D minor and E minor respectively. In the video, we'll look at how these chords can be played as open chords (for beginners) and also as barre chords (for intermediates).
In the video, I talk a little about how chorus and reverb are used to great effect on the original recording of this song.
