Lauren Bateman teaches Jewel's "You Were Meant for Me" on guitar using four beginner chords: C, D, Em, and G. She breaks down the signature walk-down transition (G to G/F# to Em) and two strumming patterns, one for the chorus and a simpler one for the bridge.
Hey guitar enthusiasts, today we're gonna be doing a song by Jewel called You Were Meant for Me. It's got lots of easy chords. We have a C chord, we have a D chord, we have an E minor chord, and a G chord, which I'm probably going to play as a 4-finger G chord because we do have a walk down in this song. We're gonna be going from G to kind of like a G/F# to an E minor chord. Okay, so I am gonna probably be using the brighter G on that walk down. Now let's talk about the strumming. There's gonna be 2 strumming patterns for the majority of this chorus section that we're gonna be playing, it's gonna be down, down, up, up, down, up, down, down, up, up, down. Okay, when we get to the walk down, we're gonna play down, down, up, down, down, up, and then switch back to down, down, up, up, down. Let me show you very quickly. So we got down, down, up, up, down. Ready? Here we go. Dreams.
