These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!

Here's another one of the artists you suggested and voted for last month! This is a breakdown video of all the different parts of the song, as it's a bit too intricate to present in my usual style.
The song really just uses A, E and D chords, but they appear in different inversions and at different places on the neck to give the song a distinctive feel.

I've played through the parts slowly, but if you increase the playback speed to x1.25 then it will be the tempo of the original song.
