I think it’s “too much candy gonna rot your soul” not “ride”.

Melanie Martinez

I find that -1 works best

lara

for easier chords in the same key, put the capo on the first fret and play:
C instead of Db
F instead of Gb
continue to play Ab or play G instead

Sage Wilcox

The Ab sounds weird but I want to be able to play along with the song so I don’t want to transpose. Anyone have alternative chords that sound better?

ImageAlec

I use dx du bc it sounds nicer and I use -1 it’s easy and sounds great!! Especially when using it like Chloe Moriondo did in he cover of it!!

Cai Matthew

It’s a lot easier in +1 🙂

Charlie

What strumming pattern?

ukullama

I think that it is better to play the c, f and g chords for this song, especially for beginners.

ichyeeteeuchhinfort

I use D DUD D as a stumming pattern but doenst excactly sound like the original

lenib-d

Am I the only one here because of Pitch Perfect?
