[G] [Bm]
[A]
[E] The chords we've got are G, [G]
B minor [Bm]
and [A] A.
Now if you have trouble with your B [Bm] minor, [Gm] you can go a smaller [Bm] version of that.
I call that Easy B [G] minor.
That'll get you through [Bm] it.
Or the other version that I like to use which has a lot of open strings looks like that.
And that's a great option as well.
So those are our three chords that we've got going on [A] there.
And basically [G] here's what we've got.
[Bm]
[A]
[Eb] One time through [G] of G.
And what is our strumming pattern?
Here is our strumming pattern.
It is down, down, down, up, up, down, down.
Let's see what that looks like.
[Em] So we've got a miss down stroke in there.
[G] That's going to be down, miss, down, down, up, up, down, down.
Play that slow and then build it up.
Try it with me.
Down, miss, down, down, up, up, down, down. Super slow.
Down, miss, down, down, up, up, down, down.
[Bm] [A]
Then A again.
[G] G, B [Bm] minor,
[A] A again.
[G] Now if you want to mix that up chord wise to make it just a little more interesting,
you can also go for an A sus2 which is just the A chord taking away your [A] third finger.
[Gb] [A] So we get open, second, second, [E] open, open.
[G] And you can do that for the second bar of the A.
So G, [Bm] B minor, [A] A, take away the [E] third.
[G]
Shine bright [Bm] like a diamond.
Shine bright like a diamond.
[A] [E] How easy is that?
You know, if you're a super beginner, maybe a bit of trouble with your B minor,
but a great song to get your B minor happening.
That's it.
