I show you how the easy 4 chords you need to play hundreds of songs. I cover the chords and how to change between them. I then demonstrate a few common chord embellishments, tricks of the trade, as well as common chord sequences and strumming patterns.
You’ve probably come across some kind of 4 chord song video before such as the axis of awesome or 23 songs- 4 chords- 100 songs 4 chords or whatever... And they’re very funny and entertaining.
BUT very few of them take into account the key of the original song, which can be misleading if you try to play it on guitar.
All the songs I'm going to show you have these chords in that same order. I’m going to show you them with any relevant capo number, strumming pattern, plus chord sheet so you can play along to the original song!
See the videos below for a more detailed run through each group of songs!
See this video for more tips and tricks with these chords to prep for these songs!
