The song and chords

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it,

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted,

I fell right through the cracks,

And now I'm tryin to get back....

Before the cool done run out, Ill be givin it my bestest

and Nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn,

C D

To Win some or learn some....

CHORUS:

G D

But I wont hesitate

No more, No more

It can not wait; I'm yours

G D Em C

Well, open up your mind and see like me,

Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Em C

Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.

Listen to the music of the moment,

people dance and sing,

we're just one big family

Em C

And it's our god-forsaken right to be loved,

loved, loved, loved, loved.

CHORUS:

G D

But I wont hesitate

No more, No more

It can not wait; I'm yours

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate,

I'm yours

Well, open up your mind and see like me,

Open up your plans and damn you're free.

Em C

Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.

Listen to the music of the moment,

people dance and sing,

we're just one big family

Em C

And it's our god-forsaken right to be loved,

loved, loved, loved, loved.

CHORUS:

G D

But I wont hesitate

No more, No more

It can not wait; I'm yours

Please dont, please dont, please dont,

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate,

I'm yours

I See Fire a reletively hard song and not for beginners, this is my cover of with how to play it below! Check it out!

Okay so lets start at the intro, the tab is below, how ever i would like to point out that the x's mean you slap using your nails onto the strings of the guitar and a number and then a P/H means pull off (p) and hammer on (h).

Strings

This is the main song. a few things to note, I pick the top E string and the D,G and B string every time I play a chord and then I slap. I find this make the song sound very good and isn't very complicated. Also if you know how to do it, I strum using my fingers but i use my nails and hit all the ways down and then slap again and I find this is perfect for the last chorus and ending as it is very intense.

Songs and Tutorials!

So I know one of the main struggles of a beginning guitarist is learning chords so I've drawn out a list of the most fundamental chords for a guitar player, now remember you won't be able to play the barre chords (they're the ones where you use one finger to hold down all the strings)

I've labelled the diagrams simply, the strings up the side with 4 frets and dots to indicate where your fingers go and numbers to indicate which fingers, I've also created a video showing the chords and where to put your fingers

. I hope this helps!

C major

A major

E major

D minor

B minor

G major

E minor

D major

F major (easy)

B major

A minor

Love yourself - Justin Bieber

Love Yourself is an intermiediate song and with a little practice should be too hard to play. This tutorial will show you how to play the chords and a picking pattern that works very well to

Lets start off with the chords, te diagrams are below. They aren't hard as the shape is generally the same down the neck and the chords up the neck are easy to as they're basic chord shapes.

E major

D# minor

C# minor

F# minor

C# power chord

E major (not to be confused)

A major

B major power chord

The picking pattern for the song is very simple, pick the A string, G string and B string and then the G string and B string then slap down on the strings. The video below demonstrates the strings you need to pluck and the slap, like I used in I See Fire

This is the main song with the chords. The video of me performing it is also below :)
