[E] Thanks for stopping by.
Today we'll be learning my very favorite Simple Minds song, Don't You [A] Forget About Me.
[E] We'll be playing in standard tuning [Em] and we'll [D] be using [C] major chord forms [N] to play the entire song.
I'm going to be using major chord forms, which most people know.
But if you don't know those chord forms, go to chord tutorial number 32 on the Eric Blackman
Guitar Channel and I'll show you up close how to play major chord forms like these.
We're going to start with the intro, which is a D [A] chord [E] to an E chord.
The strumming pattern [A] is just going to be straight up and down [D] like this.
Nothing fancy, just eighth notes.
So [G] for the intro, we're going to play D, [E] E, just like that.
So we [A] did D for two beats, then E.
Then one, two, three, [A] four.
D, [E] E, [C] C, [D] D, D, [E] E,
[A] D, [E] E, [C] C, [D] D.
[Bm] [E] And then we're into our verse.
[N] Okay?
That was D, E, D, E again, and then C, D.
And then we're going to repeat that twice
and that takes care of our intro.
Okay?
We're going to go into the verses and we're just going to [E] strum E, or E major, for four beats.
[D] D major, for four beats.
[A] A major, four beats.
And then back to D, [D] for four beats.
[E] So it's going to go something like this.
Don't [D] you forget about me, [A] I'll be alone.
[D] [E]
We're going to play that [A] four times.
[D]
[Ab] Now, the cool thing is that progression doubles for our verse and for our chorus.
So when we go [E] into
Don't [D] you forget about me.
No, no, [E] no, baby, [D] don't forget [A] about me.
It's the same thing.
Alright?
We play that all [C] throughout the verses and the choruses.
Now, we'll need to go to the bridge.
Now the bridge is going to involve us going to C.
Don't you recognize, [G]
I'm in love with you.
[C] Now what we did there is C, eight beats.
[G] G, for eight beats.
[D] When you fall in deep, deep [A] fall down, down.
[C] Okay, now [N] that was C, for eight beats.
G, for eight beats.
D, for eight beats.
And A, for eight beats.
We're going to do that twice.
And that takes care of our bridge.
And you know what?
That's all you need to play the entire song.
That's a great song by Simple [F] Minds.
Don't you [E] forget about me.
[Eb] Thanks guys for stopping by and have a great day.
