4 Chords, 37 Songs on Guitar

My tenth "4 chords" video in which I give an example of some of the many songs that can be played using the same four chords.
All 4 Chords Videos - • RipTard's Guitar Video...
The songs I play in order are:
Enrique Iglesias - Hero
Mud - Lonely This Christmas
Charlie Puth ft. Meghan Trainor - Marvin Gaye
Sara Bareilles - I Choose You
Lou Christie - Two Faces Have I
George Straight - Check Yes Or No
Matt White - Love
The Marcels - Blue Moon
Rachel Platten - Fight Song
Jessie J - Flashlight
Little Mix - Towers
Keith Urban - John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16
Taylor Swift - Out Of The Woods
Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire
Alabama - I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)
Ed Sheeran - Photograph
Justin Bieber - Love Yourself
Adele - Hello
Ryan Higa - Ignored
R. City ft. Adam Levine - Locked Away
Tessa Violet - Make Me a Robot
Little Big Town - Girl Crush
Scott McKenzie - San Francisco
Enrique Iglesias ft. Sean Paul, Descemer, Bueno, Gente de Zona - Bailando
Die Antwoord - Enter the Ninja
Don Omar ft. Lucenzo - Danza Kuduro
Nickelodeon - Zoey 101 (Theme Song)
The Offspring - The Kid’s Aren’t Alright
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Face Down
Shawn Mendes - Stitches
Charlie Puth - One Call Away
X Ambassadors - Renegades
Queen - I’m In Love With My Car
Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am
Rachel Platten - 1,000 Ships
Walk the Moon - Shut Up And Dance
Andrea Bocelli - Con te partirò
*A few notes about the four chords:
1) Although all these songs use the four chords at one point or another, they may not be the four chords throughout the whole song.
2) The actual songs are all normally in different keys - I transposed them all to G, D, Em, and C for the purpose of this video.
3) The songs in this video do not all use the four chords in the same order:
-“Hero” through “Blue Moon” are G, Em, C, D
-“Fight Song” through “Love Yourself” are G, D, Em, C
-“Hello” through “Face Down” are Em, C, G, D
-“Stitches” through “One Call Away” are Em, D, G, C
-“Renegades” through “I’m In Love With My Car” are Em, G, D, C
-“The Way I Am” through “Shut Up And Dance” are G, C, Em, D
-“Con te partirò” is “G, D, Em, C”
Thanks to Tobias Olson for the RipTard logo used at the end of this video!

[@punishedkratos494]

Moment of appreciation: 4 chords may not sound like a lot, but the fact that the songs use the chords in a different order yet he doesn't mess any of the orders up. Not only that, he can segue into the next song so smoothly, and to do it for almost 10 minutes straight, that's amazing skill! You rock RipTard!

[@ainahthis_]

He's been singing for 9mins non stop... that's real talent I guess😂

I started playing guitar yesterday. Today I've learned these 4chords and I can combine them but not perfectly. My goal is to learn these 4 chords really well :)

[@danielmoreno7056]

your goal should be to improve everyday. trust me those open chords will feel so easy after a while. try and practice bar chords i always encourage people to learn these as soon as possible because its very physical but will open up your fretboard

[@GabrielTobing]

2 years later. How did it go?

[@oriehi_raphael_paul]

And now?

[@monkegames6133]

This video just made me feel AMAZING. I took my guitar, tried to repeat this and then I ended up playing it for hours. I salute to you. Bravo!

OMG, this is the 4 chords that I started playing when I was just a beginner! It really helped me a lot in starting playing the guitar. THESE 4 CHORDS WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE.

leave this guy alone hes a good singer and he has the convidence to sing on youtube

[@seamusherron7797]

Confidence*

Completely the opposite, actually. He's too scared to do a serious video so he has put together a slightly comedic medley.

[@paulo5248]

@@seamusherron7797 Lol

[@geoffringham1051]

He may not be the best of singers LIKE MOST OF US and Im sure he knows that without some bozo pointing this out! He's simply demonstrating that any who learns 4 cords on their guitar can sing along to their playing no matter what. And a bit of humour lightens up the process. 👍😊

I just wanna let you know that this video is seriously the best video to start learning out to play guitar. Major & huge thanks for making these vids. Bought a guitar a few months ago and learned super a bunch of songs super quickly and now its easier to play other songs & learn. So shout out to you for making these!

Now even though I'm a beginner at guitar I can just play some of these songs and feel good about myself.

[@zbetllet]

there is so many other famous songs with this 4 chords

[@ilsukdyang8134]

Thë Mak If he did all of them, the video would never end

[@OfEpicness]

Most songs enjoy using a root, fourth, minor (sixth I think?) and the fifth chord of a key, like in the key of (G?) the I, IV, vi, V progression would be G D Em C, in the key of (C?) it would be C G Am F. These songs enjoy these chords even if they use a different variation of the same chord progression
