Announcement: SongTabs.com Releases “How to Play I’m Yours by Jason Mraz - Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson - with Tabs”
(PRWEB) March 17, 2014 -- Beth starts off this lesson by performing a sample of the song she will be teaching. Next she explains the chords that will be used in the song which are; G, D, Em and C, she also mentions that a Capo is needed on the 4th fret to be in the proper key. “The great thing about this song is that it uses one chord pattern all the way through,” says Norman, “its G, D, Em and C, each of which gets four beats.” Next Beth demonstrates the strumming pattern, which is; down-down-up-up-down-up (1-2-&-3-4-&), which she plays twice for each chord. Next she demonstrates the picking pattern as simultaneously picking the a bass note with her thumb and three high strings with her first, second and third fingers, followed by an upstroke with her first finger and finally she slaps the strings with the side of her hand to achieve a percussive sound, she repeats this pattern four times on each chord. Guitar TAB’s and full chord charts for this easy acoustic guitar lesson are available by clicking the link in the video or by visiting SongTabs.com.
