How To Play Bubbly by Colbie Caillat
If your looking for a good beginners song to play on guitar the following is a guide for how to play Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. It's a great radio pop song.
One of the first things you realize when learning guitar is that you can play songs in many different ways, adapting them to suit your own technical capability. True to this, it's possible to play Bubbly in various ways.
For my video on how to play Bubbly Ive chosen an easy way to play the song using a Capo position so you can use your well known open chords and not have to worry about any Barre Chords.
Like most beginner guitar songs, this one can be played through with just 4 chords covering you for all the verses and choruses. Of the chords used, only one is unusual and this has been done with the aim of staying true to the song's sense of harmony and form. It's not difficult to master and in fact is quite pretty sounding.
Now when people ask how to play Bubbly, often what they really need to learn is the particular strumming pattern used in the song. In Guitar in a Nutshell we refer it as a Shuffle Strum and any tutorial on how to play Bubbly needs to have a clear explanation for it!
You won't need to learn multiple strums for the song, just the one Shuffle Strum will cover you for playing the entire song - start to finish. Nice for beginners.
I've found that the best way to approach learning guitar songs is to isolate whichever techniques are involved and thereby simplify things as far as possible. Keeping true to this philosophy my video tutorial on how to play Bubbly separates the chords from the strum allowing beginners the best chance of mastering each part.
Follow the video step by step, pausing the video to practice. Its very important as in that way youll learn how to play Bubbly just as if it were a real 1-1 lesson.
The golden rule is to practice slowly, take your time learning how to play Bubbly and it will reward you with a great song to add to your guitar song list. - 18418
