Fun Fact: Katy wrote this song about Josh Groban!
for the plucking of the intro, i suggest the plucking pattern GECE (1st string, 3rd string, 2nd string then 3rd string) play this twice before changing chords to copy the actual intro while following the chords from -2 with capo on the second fret, hope this helps!
-4 is super duper easy. Just put a capo on the 4th fret if you want to stay in the same key. Down down up up down up works for strumming too
+1
An amazing song about loss and dealing with it. Perry made this song beautifully. It doesn’t always seem to be just about loosing a partner, it could be about any person you’ve lost. Making the tempo higher though is easier for my voice, so I sing to that version.
Down 4 is super easy, as long as you have Em down!
-2 is so easy if you need something easier
has anyone heard the egg version of this yet?
fegac
this reminds me of my ex-girlfriend,,, she moved because of me,,, my only best friend told her that i was cheating,, i wasn’t, because i cared so much about her, and i wouldn’t want to hurt her,,, but she was an angel, and i miss her so much,,,
Hello! I would just like to say that if you would like a softer approach to the song(especially the chorus), i would recommend using plucking! Firstly, you might want to transpose to -4 because i find that it suits this plucking pattern well! the plucking pattern goes AGEC (4th string, 1st string, 3rd string, 2nd string). I hope this helps! (I’m definitely not an expert so I’m sorry if you don’t like it)
lol not me taking the lyrics from the bokuaka version and using that
I did +1 but changed Bb to Am
does anyone know the strumming pattern??????
what strumming pattern do you reccomend????
I really like -1. Its simple and sounds pretty. 🙂
