Play Everlong by the Foo Fighters

Written by Troy Spro

Now I have written about Everlong by the Foo Fighters before because it made my Rock Show list, it is a great song and also I found an acoustic version of the song quite a while back which got me thinking I would add it to this section of music, so learn how to play Everlong by the Foo Fighters here, simply on the acoustic guitar.

I started this section with just writing about the songs I like and I thought I would list the guitar chords and lyrics with them too so I could easily find them when I want too and also over time have a killer acoustic set to play as well if ever needed.

As I have said about Everlong before, it is a great song that gives me goose bumps pretty much every time I hear it.

This song is a little different in the lay out and also just easier to write down the chords in sections and list the lyrics.

For example if you see “Intro” you play the “Intro” section of chords there and once you run through it a few times you’ll get it, just be a little patient.

The Pre Chorus and Bridge are just an easy octave fingering too, so once you get the knack of this and know what and how to mute certain strings with your fingers you should be good to go for these sections too.

Also note the drop D tuning on this song, make sure your bottom E id tuned down to D, the easiest way to do this is to pluck your D string and E string at the same time and tune the E down until it sits on the same note as the D, easy!

Play The A Team by Ed Sheeran

Written by Troy Spro

The A Team by for me was an ear worm as soon as I heard it, loved it from the beginning and wanted to play it on my guitar.

The funny thing is that if you do want to have a hack and play it most of the tab and guitar chords around are very badly written, not sure why, anyway below is the chords, what key, the structure and lyrics for The A Team for you and I have worked on these.

This song was released as a digital download firstly as the first single off Ed’s + album, recorded in 2010 and released in 2011, the lyrics are about a drug addicted prostitute that were written after a visit to a homeless shelter and the stories he heard.

The A Team hit the Top 10 in many countries and I’m sure after you play it and sing through it a few times you’ll understand why, heartfelt, soothing yet upbeat at the same time whilst masking a dark underlay in the lyrics.

So enjoy this song as I have playing it and working on the chords below.
