How to play MY OWN ADVICE: key, chords and progression

MY OWN ADVICE by WILLIAM BLACK, ILLENIUM & ALANA is in the key of G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 5 chords: G, D, C, Am and Em.

Listen for G – D – C – G (I – V – IV – I in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
