Everybody Hurts

Everybody Hurts


In this quick lesson, you’ll figure out the chords of this REM song.

So, how exactly should you do this? First, play the song and tune into the music. In particulary, try and see if you can follow the bass guitar. Notice how we’re going back and forth between two chords.

Next, you’ll see there are three chord options for this song: A, D and G. Play each of them and see which one sounds like the first chord in the song. When you’ve decided, click the button for the chord to fill it in. Then repeat this process until you’ve filled out everything and check you answers

If you get stuck, feel free to use the ‘show next chord’ button.
