How To Play Bubbly
Heres a guide on how to play Bubbly by Colbie Caillat. Its one of those great radio friendly pop songs typical of the singer songwriter genre.
Luckily with most popular guitar songs you have the possibility to make them easier or harder depending on how good you are on guitar. To play Bubbly does not require a high degree of technical difficulty.
In the video I've made for how to play Bubbly I've selected an easy version of the song to teach with beginners on guitar in mind. Part of this process involves using a Capo to make the chords appear in open position thus avoiding any need for Barre Chords.
The vast majority of the song can be played with just one 4 chord progression. Of those 4 chords, one is slightly unusual but is there to stay true to the tonality of the original song which is always an important consideration. It's not too difficult to master and sounds beautiful.
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!
Fortunately, the strum never changes throughout the song so once you have it, it never changes. Thats good news for beginners on guitar.
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. - 18762
