This first part revolves around A, so we’re going to be pedaling the fifth string open which is A. So we’ve got A twice and then we go to the seventh fret of the fourth string and then back to the fifth string open, then fifth fret and fourth string and fourth fret and then back up.

This string is being peddled fourth string we’re on seven and when I go back to that seven I’m sliding on to that first half and then for the second half it’s more or less the same it’s just one part changes. So on the second time, it says sliding up to seven to the third fret of the fifth string throw a vibrato. That’s the riff for the first part.

All right so you play it through all the way through once and then you start over. On a second time you play the first half, so second time through and then we stopped there on four, and then what I’m doing is I’m just lightly touching the string for harmonics and then alternate picking and descending  because it gives that kind of cool little rock and vibe to it.

That leads us into the second part, for the second part this is very similar to a blue shuffle that you’ve probably done before. I’m on the second part of the fourth string with my first finger string is open. Again, we’re going to do that same kind of rhythm, the notes that we’re going to be changing are on the fourth string or to the second fret with your first finger on the fourth string and then to the fifth fret with fourth string with your fourth finger fourth fret with your third.

It’s the same rhythm were doing here, the same with pedaling that middle string between each time we change so here now calling off the frets for the fourth string just like on the last one of the first half, and the second half are almost the same it’s just the very end. The first time through, second time, third fret of the fifth string again we’re going to a C on both times, hopefully twice just like we did before the second time through it’s not the whole sequence.

The first half second time through, second half and then we’re going to do this little easy pull off lick. First finger on the second fret of the third string and then your third finger on the fourth fret and we’re going to pick and do the same thing on strings four and five and then we’re going to go down and we’re going to do the basically the exact same thing we did, but we’re going to do it on string six and five.

This time we’re going to the third fret of the sixth string, it’s a G instead of a C all right so this one just like before, will play through it twice but the second time through the second half is different so the second time through first half we’re going to do this little kind of climb thing, so we’re going to go power cord g5. We’re on the third fret of the sixth string with your first finger in the fifth fret of the fifth string with your third finger and we’re going to play that three times and it’s like triplets. Then we move up a half step that will leads us into the final part .

For this final part we’re going to be playing primarily on the fourth and the third string, you can do most of this with just your first finger. We’re going to do a slide from nowhere to the ninth fret to the seventh, and the fifth, and then when we get to that A, we’re going to strum the A take your second finger and go to the third fret of the fifth string which is C and we’re going to give a little bit of a bend.

Grab that third fret of the fifth string and then back to that third strings together and then we got this little kind of riff here at the end. So we have the A and we play it twice and then we do to the third fret of the fifth string with your second finger and then do a hammer on to the fourth fret and follow that second part of the third stage is an A.

Back into that original main riff, again you practice all the parts you know separately and then put them together and stuff. I hope you enjoyed that you got something out of it if you like this lesson be sure to subscribe on our You Tube Channel and we’ll see you in our next video lessons, thanks for watching.

So we’re going to start on the 1 chord, F major bar 9th place bar chord. We’re actually going to play just the middle four strings if you hit that high E string as open as an F major 7 chord but we’ve got ring finger 3A pinky, 3D middle finger, 2G pointer finger, 1B. I’m going down, up, down, up, down, up, up, down, up, down. This is going to be our version of how the original is strummed with the rest of the band down, up, down, then down. I’m down, up, down, sometimes I add some to make a little livelier for a solo acoustic presentation but basically the verse is just going to be a key to a minor to B flat major. So we can number these because we learned those notes off as a 1, 3, 4, chord progression. The 1 chord F major down, up, down, up, down, up, up, down, up, down, again down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, to A minor.

Pointer finger 1st fret of the B-string, ring finger 3rd fret 2nd fret of the G-string, middle finger 2nd fret of the D-string highest five strings down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down to B flat.

B flat is tough for a lot of people I see a lot of books teach it like this, where your pointer finger is the 1st fret in high string then you got the 3rd fret of the B-string, G-string, B-string, pinky, ring, and middle relatively. I’m not the biggest fan of this shape I think it’s kind of difficult for readers to do and you’re much better off taking the F major shape and isn’t moving it toward your pointer finger lines up with the 6th fret much easier because going back to F, anyways there’s the 1st fret because it’s where my pointer fingers lined up or where the root note will be in a bar chord F, B-flat as long as you don’t hit the low and high strings you can really just run this one shape from F to a B flat, so playing this way it’s F to A minor 1, 2, 3, 4, to a 4 chord, that’s how my thumb chilling here muting the low E string because that would sound better, my pointer finger making sure the high E string, I’m not hearing the lower of a high string.

F major, A minor, B flat, that’s going to be the entire verse. The next part is going to be the pre-chorus some people call it a bridge. I think if it’s a pre-chorus D minor, C, A minor, C, end of the chorus. So D minor, C , A minor C we can number those again remember what is D and F 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, the 6 board to the 3/4 or the 6 part to the 5 chord to the 3/4 to the 5 chord when you can think of chord progressions as numbers makes everything super easy right F to A minor to B flat that’s  1, 3, 4, much easier to just kind of organize that stuff in my opinion D minor pointer finger 1st fret on the high E string pinky or ring finger on the 3rd fret of the B-string middle finger 2nd fret on the G-string.

Same strumming pattern to a C, pointer finger 1st fret of the B-string, you can play with your middle finger to D, ring finger 3a. I’m a big fan of playing it with your pinky 3a and your ring finger 3e. I just like that better sounds, a little fuller totally (optional) it’s up to you alright. So D minor 6 chord to the 5 chord to A minor which we already talked about was the 3 chord F, G, A and back to C, and then we go to the most common chord progressions in all of Western music history a 1, 5, 6, 4, chord progression.

Millions of songs are transposed to another key, even just like hearing it might make more sense if you did another key real just side note a one, five, six, four, in the key of C would sound like. My song familiar to some people but the point is a common chord progression that you should have under your belt and know how to navigate three different keys start on the one chord and the key of F which is the F to C, easy transition what’s the 6th chord in the key of F, D, D minor to B flat, back to F. So this is the chords of the song, that’s up to speed now this is one example of this B flat, could be better if you want to keep everything in the same ballpark.

That’s why it’s great to know different chord progressions for different things but in my opinion this B flat is a lot easier and will make the sound really good. Totally it’s up to you, I’m not going force you to do anything you don’t want, and we’re just trying to play some Natalie Imbruglia songs.

Here’s a recap, three parts the 1st part is F with the strumming power we’re going to go through the chords out the strumming, early half to A minor to B flat. Remember that’s 1, 3, 4, and when you know the numbers you can easily transpose these to other keys that might fit your singing voice or your singers singing voice better.

After that we have a 6 to a 5, to a 3, to a 2, to a 5, to a 2, to a 1, to a 5, to a 6, to a 4, and that’s it, that’s the whole thing. Make sure to subscribe on our You Tube Channel and we’ll see you in our next video lessons, thanks for watching.

Introduction

Click on the Tabs button to follow the chords and tabs for Circles By Post Malone Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson.

It’s four chords on a loop for this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson, but there are actually variations of those chords that we can do to make it sound more like the song and have a cool, chill acoustic guitar version and we’re going to talk about some easy ways to do it and ways to kind of incorporate that cool baseline into this Circles By Post Malone Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson.

Circles Chords

First things first, the chords for this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson are C major to a C major 7, to F major, to F minor, we’ll go over those chords in more detail in a second, that’s it C, C major 7, F, F minor. Not too bad right 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, count. Each one gets its own bar and we’re going to start by playing a C major with variations but basically I got my ring finger on the 3rd fret of the low E-string, pinky on the CMA-string 3rd fret of A-string, middle finger is on the 2nd fret of the D-string, the G-string is open, pointer finger on the 1st fret of the B-string.

To get that kind of choked staccato type sound for Circles By Post Malone, what I’m doing is, I down strum, taking my fretting hand and releasing the pressure. If I keep the pressure down that will be fine, but it’s not really like the song and I would recommend starting the choked and get the chords of the Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson.

You must have somewhere to go otherwise, it’s going to sound the same, and the whole time you want to make it a little bit of a dynamic performance out of this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson. It’s the coordination between your fretting hand, your strumming in down, down, down, that’s how I’m playing it. The count is how you want to internalize it but I think its most like the song in that pattern, you’ll notice after that 1st bar the next count is taking my pointer finger off to make it a C major 7 that’s the easiest way to make a C major 7.

Any time you had a B note to a C chord you get a C major 7 and we’re going to get the F major chord to the F minor chord. I’m playing this as a barre chord, 1st we switch it to the non-bar chord version in a second but again by the 1st fret 3rd fret on the A-string, ring finger 3rd fret on the D-string, pinky middle finger to G, same thing as four and then we’re going to make an F minor. You’ll notice that the only thing that changes is your middle finger on the 2nd fret and ends up becoming your pointer finger on the 1st fret.

We’re flattening what’s called the 3rd of the F major chord and then getting the last spot of the 4th bar on the progression. Notice that I’m using my middle finger to abandon and pulling out my pointer finger to give myself some extra power to really get that G-string note, G# in there or A flat to ring out because that’s the hardest part doing a E-string with a barre chord on the 1st fret is getting that kind of sound, but not necessary as we’re going to showcase in just a second so you can play the whole song in this C major 7 same strumming pattern F minor.

That really cool bass line I think is something that we can pretty simply incorporate into the Circles By Post Malone Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson chord progression. So far we’ve got this notes of our 3a which is a C note the root note of the C chord C, C, open D, back to C, same as 3, 3, 5, 3, and if you’re playing the bass along with the song you just go 3, 3, 5, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2.

Now what is that note that 2nd fret of the A-string A, A sharp B, it’s a B. Like I said before when you add a B to a C chord you get a B or C major 7 chord. The reason is because B is a 7th note in the key of C, C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Now we can play any variation, the first C major 7 we did was by opening up the B-string by taking out pointer finger off which is kind of like a very pretty acoustic strumming way to play that Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson.

Another way we can play a B with the C major chord is taking the root note, making your middle finger that guy right there. Now I have my middle finger to A, my ring finger is onto D, G is still open, our C note is now coming from the 1st fret on the B-string, and then open E. It has a little bit of a different feel especially if you can palm mute it In the F bar of this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson.

A lot of these are just different variations and options that you can do in this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson to get it to sound more like a combination between what the guitars are doing and what the base are doing. Now let’s talk about the F portion of the progression. So far basically, the back after the progression we have F major to F minor once again sometimes the easiest that has been done specifically on an acoustic guitar with thicker strings where the tension is always the highest to closest to the nut. That 1st fret is really hard to barre a lot of times, so one way to get around is to play this F chord like that 1st C major chord that we did. Keeping your pointer finger right there, moving everything else down A-string, now the middle four strings are 3A, 3D, 2G, 1B, which is the as before a barre chord.

Remember we have to change 2 to 1 so what we can do is focus on the A, D, and G-strings to get 3, 3, and 1/2 major F minor doesn’t really sound as good I think as a full barre chord but it’ll work and a pinch. Another thing that you can do for this Circles By Post Malone Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson is kind of like a mini bar chord whereas 3A, 3D, kind of like a half bar.

We’re getting the 1st round of this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson, the G, and the B-string, just like that highest three strings. That’s another way you can play an F major 7, if you want to do an easier F major chord like just 3D, 2G, 1b again doesn’t totally sound exactly like the song but it’s just a different way to introduce yourself fuller barre chords. We’ve got a four count on C, if you’re having trouble with the strumming let’s do all down strokes for this down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, and I’m going to palm mute this to make it a little easier to hear or taking the side of my hand and hitting the bridge down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. Notice that time I use the lower beat down, down, down, down, F minor, non power chord way down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. The rhythm is really important for this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson.

I want you to accompany yourself to do it, like your basic down to reemployment 1, 2, 3, and 4, and 1, 2, 3, and 4, that’s totally fine. I’m just a huge proponent learning as many songs as you can try and different things out, but I think this is a really great opportunity to try to incorporate a little bit more of the elements that make this Easy Acoustic Guitar Lesson on Circles by Post Malone so cool and catchy.

Then get those bass notes in and there’s the bridge for Circles By Post Malone, the chords are the same for the bridge but really just let it ring out C, C major 7, half F minor, however if you want to play it and resolve it on C . The last thing I want to talk about this progression is how we number it really this is just a one chord to a four chord all that means is in the key of C. We have C, the notes, and the c, d, e, f, g, a, b, like to talk about B being the 7th and the 4th note in the key of c, c, d, e, f, is f that is where the F major chord comes from so it is a one core to 1/4 this made yourself to a 4 chord to a minor four chord that’s how we’re going to communicate this and then back to C.
