ARIANA GRANDE
Before tackling this course, you should be comfortable with all the material from No Tears Left To Cry

Summary: God Is A Woman

This track from Ariana Grande is another great pop hit from a great singer. We have a really cool chord progression in this track, and a very prominent guitar part that sounds so cool with all the chorus and delay on it. Simone walks you through the whole track.

The Rhythm: Strumming pattern

If you don't want to try the fingerpicking version Simone walked through, you can also just play through the chords with basic hits. The most important thing is that you change the chords on the "2 and" beat. The pattern would look like this:
