Lauren Bateman teaches a simplified guitar arrangement of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" using a capo on the 4th fret and five main chords: D, G, Em, C, and F. The key is a 16th-note strumming pattern of down, down, down, up repeated, and you can swap Fmaj7 if bar chords feel too hard.
Hey guitar enthusiasts, we're going to be learning a simplified version of Alanis Morissette's Ironic. I have a capo on the 4th fret and we're going to be using a D chord, a G chord, an E minor chord. I think I said a C chord, but I'm not sure. And an F chord, which comes in once. But if you're not good at the bar chord, you can always use F major 7 to eliminate the bar chord. If you want to use the bright sounding G, C, and D, those will also work. On this song as well. So the strumming pattern we're going to be using is a 16th note strumming pattern. It's going to be 1, 2, and a 3, 4, and a down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up. And we're going to do that once on each chord. So it's going to be down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, down, down, up. 1, 2, 3.
It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you roll It's a good advice that you just didn't take. In the world of thorny figures.
