These easy pop songs by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars will keep your tween and teen students busy for weeks! They use simple chords and teach great musical concepts to help learn accompaniment and tablature techniques without even realizing that you are learning.Songs are listed in order from easiest to hardest.
I use this song with my beginning students to incentivize them to start using the full C Chord. This works well, because Am7 is basically a 4 string C chord where you strum 5 strings instead of 4 so the song won’t wound like it changes chords unless you use the full C Chord. I keep the strum pattern simple as well by strumming down half notes two times per measure.
The next easiest song in the line-up is also from Taylor Swift. Many of her songs are easy to play. This song uses the D chord. If my students haven’t learned the D chord yet, I will usually teach them Happy Birthday first , because it teaches D in a way that is easy to learn. If you try playing this song to the recording, you may notice that it doesn’t sound quite right, that’s because the song is tuned down a half step. This means that every string on the guitar is tuned a half step lower.

Don’t let the chord name Fmaj7sus2 get you down because it’s one of the easiest chords out there to play and it sounds great, especially in this song.
The actual strum pattern in this song is a bit different that what I decided to use. Using a capo in this song makes it easier to play, but it makes using a lot of dead strums difficult. So instead, I set up the strum pattern in a way that sounds great if you lightly hit the strings with your fingers or palm of your hand instead.
I also put in the tablature in for the beginning part. If you are new to tablature, just remember that the highest strings (1st string) are on the top of the TAB staff and that the lowest strings are on the bottom.
