Guitar Comedy

This is a great song for beginners to learn, though you might want to slow it down a bit. There are only 4 chords - I counted them - plus the solo, which isn't too challenging. If you want to do a longer solo, I've shown the notes of the Em pentatonic scale in the last chord grid.

We're in the key of G. The chords in G are: G Am Bm C D Em F♯m7b5.

C add9 is often used as a replacement chord for C, as it often sounds better in this key and is also easier to get to quickly. From the G shape, you just move fingers 1 and 2 across a string in the same formation.

D/ F♯, or D with an F♯ bass (just curl your thumb over the neck) is again usually an improvement on a plain D chord, because it gives you a stronger bass.
