How To Play Bubbly for Beginners

By Payo W Perry

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.

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.

There are just 4 chords in the progression and most of them are very common except for one which has been modified in keeping with the tonal character of the song. Its actually a very pretty chord in the context of the progression.

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.

My tutorial for how to play Bubbly separates the two main elements for the song. On one side chords and on the other side, the strum. By breaking down the song into component parts you give yourself the best chance of being able to master each aspect on its own before finally putting it all together as one.

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.

So good luck, it make take you a few days to learn how to play Bubbly especially if your learning the strum for the first time so be patient. - 18758
