I have no idea how to do an e, like my hands are too small ☹️
On the very last line, I like to add a C on “favor”. This song makes me sad but happy at the same time <3
Practice ‘E’ and you’ll get MUCH MUCH better at it. Trust me. I practice this so much that ‘E’ is really easy now. If you don’t know it very well I recomend my method. You can always slow down that part of the song.
DDU UDU DDU UDU Play that for every cord except for G and C endings. Sorry if that’s confusing just watch Elise Ucklands video for more help!
For everyone saying they can’t do the E chord, I promise that if you keep practicing you’ll get it! I was CONVINCED that I couldn’t do one, but after a few weeks of trying to get it, I can say that I can do it now! It still takes me longer to switch to that chord than others, but I’m assuming that’ll get easier, too. Don’t give up, peeps <3
instead of E, do E7 SOUNDS SO GOOOD
Here’s an alternate for E!
G-4
C-4
E-4
A-2
just me who does a d-d-u-d-d after the first chorus with my hand covering the strings????? does that in the actual song x
for when she sing the last line of the verse, is go “I’m not your party favor”
F G C instead of whats written and i think it sounds better.
for the pre-chorus, i like to pluck the12th and 10th frets on the a string to replicate what it’s doing in the song.
also, @Say what? everyone who can’t do the e chord: literally just bar the 4th fret and put your pinkie/ring finger on the a string of the 7th fret.
