This is a very cool pop track that is driven by the main guitar riff. In this guitar lesson Simone will take you through that main guitar riff that consists of triad versions of barre chords, so will suit an intermediate player slightly more than a beginner.
This track has a really cool guitar riff that runs all the way through the song. The riff is based on barre chord shapes, but as we only pick three notes from each chord, we do not need to fret the whole shape. We therefore use the following chords:
As for the order of chords, we run this sequence: Em / D / G / C / Em / D / Bm / C / . You then just loop this round and round! The only thing to remember is that in the intro, before the vocals start, you just play the first half of this loop. From then on in you can play the loop above.
If you want to really challenge yourself, you can play the full barre chord version of each chord, rather than just the three notes on each chord, as written above. The chord shapes would therefore be:
