Here's a fun video that was shared with me over the weekend by a subscriber. 

Here, Ed Sheeran shows how most pop songs only use four chords, and it's the vocals over the top that is more unique.

The four chords he is referring to are Em, G, C and D. See my video tutorial for these chords and more help further down this page!

Here's my video where i try and communicate the same concept, but i will also show you the chords and how to play them so you can join in!
