Learning 'Something Just Like This' on guitar is such a rewarding experience! The song's catchy melody and simple chord progression make it perfect for beginners. I started by mastering the basic chords: G, D, Em, and C. The verse follows a G-D-Em-C pattern, which repeats throughout most of the song. The strumming pattern is straightforward—down, down-up, up-down-up—but adding a bit of syncopation gives it that signature Chainsmokers vibe.
For the iconic riff, I practiced the hammer-ons and pull-offs slowly at first, focusing on clarity. The chorus lifts the energy with the same chords but a more dynamic strumming style. I love how the song builds, so I experimented with palm muting during the verses to create contrast. Watching live performances helped me capture the rhythmic feel—it's all in the wrist! By the end, I could play along with the track, and it felt like a mini-concert in my room.
This track is a blast to play! The key is in the capo—I place it on the first fret to match the original recording. The chords are beginner-friendly, but the magic happens when you add the arpeggiated picking pattern during the pre-chorus. I stumbled at first with the timing, but breaking it into smaller sections helped. The chorus is power chords with a driving rhythm, and I accidentally discovered that slightly dragging the strums adds emotional depth. After a few tries, the whole thing clicked, and now it's my go-to song for impressing friends around the campfire.

His songs were better when he had a broken heart.
That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter.
All I had to do?
Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again.
The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel.
The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me.
It seemed simple enough. Easy, even.
I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own.
Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.
Learning 'Nothing Like Us' on guitar is such a mood—it’s one of those raw, emotional JB tracks that translate beautifully to acoustic. The song’s in the key of B minor, and the chord progression is pretty straightforward: Bm, G, D, A. I love how the simplicity lets you focus on the feeling. Start by mastering the basic strumming pattern (down, down-up, up-down-up) at a slow tempo, then gradually sync it with the song’s rhythm. The intro’s melancholic vibe comes from arpeggiating the Bm chord—play each note individually for that fragile, intimate sound.
For the verse, keep the strumming light to match the vocals’ vulnerability. The chorus hits harder, so you can strum fuller there. Pro tip: capo on the 2nd fret makes it easier to sing along if you’re covering it. Justin’s falsetto in this song is iconic, so if you’re playing and singing, practice transitioning between chords without breaking the vocal flow. It’s a great piece for rainy-day vibes or late-night soul-searching sessions.
Learning 'Someone Like You' on guitar is such a rewarding experience, especially if you're into emotional ballads. The song primarily uses simple open chords, making it accessible even for beginners. Start with the basic progression: A, E, F#m, D. The verse follows this pattern, and the chorus adds a bit of variation with Bm and E7. The strumming pattern is pretty straightforward—down, down-up, up-down-up—but what really brings the song to life is the dynamics. Play softly during the verses and build up intensity in the chorus.
One thing I love about this song is how the chords mirror the melancholy of the lyrics. The F#m to D transition feels like a sigh, perfect for Adele's heartbroken vibe. If you want to add depth, try arpeggiating the chords instead of strumming. It gives a more delicate, piano-like feel, which matches the original version. And don’t forget the capo on the 1st fret—it’s essential for getting that bright, resonant tone Adele’s known for.
