How to play it
The strum pattern
A busy sixteenth-note strum with accents and gaps, and it's what makes this sound like Wonderwall. Learn it slowly on a single chord until your hand runs on autopilot. Only then add the changes.
Make it easier
Keep fingers 3 and 4 on the third fret of the top two strings for every chord. Each change then only moves your first two fingers, which is why the left hand is easier than it looks.
Easy for the left hand, hard for the right. Worth it once your strumming is steady.

Learn with a teacher
A teacher hears what you can't: the strum that's rushing, the finger muting a string, the habit that will hold you back in six months. No website or app can do that part.
I'm Daniel, aka WCHIWA: a producer, composer and guitarist, and I've taught thousands of students. Bring any song you love and I'll arrange it to your level on the spot. No grade books, no fixed curriculum, and when you're ready, we record it in my studio. In London, Maidenhead and online.
