    The Only Exception Guitar Tutorial – Paramore

    Hey everyone! In this lesson I’m going to show you how to play “The Only Exception” by Paramore. This easy 3-chord song uses the same 3 chords in the same order, over-and-over! I say ‘almost’ because there are a couple EXCEPTIONS… ONLY a couple though. This song is so easy, it could be the first song to learn on guitar.

    The Only Exception Chords: G | Dm | Cmaj7 | Am | D
