Home » Songbird – Oasis

Hey everyone! In this lesson, I’m going to show you how to play “Songbird” by Oasis. This is a 2 chord song – just G and Em (which are probably two of the first card most people learn).

I show you the chords, we talk about switching, we practice strumming them in order using downstrokes only and then I show you some other things you can do to spice it up a little bit and make this a bit more than just a two chord Song.

There’s not too much more to say about this one. It’s just the same thing 8 measures over and over and is great if you’re just getting started. An excellent song for beginner guitarists.
