Hi everyone!

In this lesson, we show you how to play “Attention” by Charlie Puth (I really hope I pronounced it correctly in the video!). This song is a 4-chord wonder, which means it’s the same 4 chords in a row. There is also a lead(ish) guitar part that we can learn, so let’s get to it!

Intro sung (amazingly!) by my friend, Eric Severinson. Here’s a link to his music: https://youtu.be/c9xvBwHDhqQ


If you find some of the elements of this tutorial are a bit too difficult or challenging for you, we have 2 eBooks which are designed to show you all the basics of both rhythm and lead guitar. They’re available on our website for free to all of our subscribers – it’s the first place you should look if you need help with the chords, strumming pattern or lead elements. You can find them here: https://goodguitarist.com/learn-rhythm-guitar/

The tutorial begins with the chords: Am, G, Em, F. We show you an easy way to play the F chord and then practice going through all of the chords, in order, playing downstrokes only.

Next we learn the strumming pattern, which is a bit longer than the usual ones, but we show you a helpful way to think about it, which should make it much easier to play. Once we have the strumming pattern down, we put it together with the chords and play the song.

Finally we learn the lead guitar part. It’s based heavily on the chord shapes, and as long as you pay attention to which string to pick, and go over it bit by bit, you should be able to memorize it – no problem!

I hope you enjoy the lesson and I’ll see you soon!
