Just spotted this neat lesson by Marty Schwartz of GuitarJamz for Adele’s “Someone Like You“.
Although the chords are all correct, it sounds quite a bit different. The original was done on piano and the difference is noticeable.
That said, the song is perfect for those just learning. It’s not too difficult and only contains a few chords: G, D, Em, C. Marty uses a capo on fret 2 to make it easier.
After the initial strumming for the intro, Marty goes into a picking pattern that highlights a moving bass line. It sounds pretty good. You can think of it as one of those “guitar tricks” you always hear about.
Check here for more beginner guitar songs.
Enjoy and lemme know what you think! (below)

Hey Johnny
Love the way you teach. I also love Adeles song. Would love to have you ebook on chords. I am trying to teach myself guitar so need all the help I can get

Hey James,
Not sure what ebook you’re referring to on chords. Don’t currently have something for chords. May have an ebook out on learning the guitar in the near future. Not sure yet. Lemme know if you’d be interested in something like that. Might do it if people want more stuff aside from the stuff I send out in the No B.S. Guitar subscription.

I’ve thought about getting lessons but, how good is that if I’m not comfortable in the presents of a total stranger. I know I’m a slow learner. Although, once I get it (the flag goes up) wow, look out cause, like a valcano, all that magnum eventually has to go somewhere. I call it my “big bang”. Anyway, I’d like to thank you for being so thorough for peeps like me. I hope to continue this adventure and finally put all that I’ve written to music.
Amen, todays a new day, and tomorrow is……….. Well, I’ll let you know when I find out.
I Surely hope i’ll be more advanced on the guitar by your teachings
