4 Chords, 19 Songs on Guitar

This post was written by Scott
Posted Under: Bass Lessons Videos
I give an example of some of the many songs that can be played using the same four chords in the same order. 4 Chords Guitar Lesson – www.youtube.com 4 Chords Piano Lesson – www.youtube.com 4 Chords, 21 Songs – www.youtube.com 4 Chords, 22 Songs – www.youtube.com 4 Chords, 28 Songs – www.youtube.com Learn the Strumming Patterns – www.youtube.com *Note: A few things may be confusing for those of you who watch my instructional video and try to play these songs, so I will try to ease your confusion. 1) In the instructional video I teach the chords G,D,Em,C, whereas in this video I play C,G,Am,F and use a capo. The songs can be played with either set of chords, but will be in a different key, depending on which you use. 2) If you want to play along with me while watching the video but don’t have a capo, then you can play D#, A#, Cm, G# (sorry, it’s awkward). 3) The order of the chords after “Take On Me” switches from C,G,Am,F (G,D,Em,C) to Am,F,C,G (Em,C,G,D). It is the same order of chords, but I start with the minor chord for the last few songs. 4) Not all of these songs use ONLY these four chords in this order, so I may just be playing a section of the song that does. 5) I don’t have the strumming pattern written down or anything, so if you want to figure it out I just suggest playing along with the video, or try making up your own strumming patterns. The songs I play in order are: James Blunt – You’re Beautiful Five for Fighting – Superman (It’s Not Easy) Jason Mraz – I’m …

I had to tell you- I’ve been singing since I was 7 years old. (country) I got a guitar last Christmas but got beyond frustrating and couldn’t understand it when I took lessons. watching your video’s has made it understanding! and fun. I’m now playing at bars, coffee shops, etc. so thank YOU so much! I greatly appreciate these videos. Thank you!
