Bruno Mars | Grenade

This song is well in the means of most beginners. There is one difficult part on moving to an open F chord that seems go hinder most beginners. But, I think it’s something you could work through. Again, you will have to get a capo and place it on the 5th fret for this song.

Here Marty from GuitarJamz.com gives you a couple of simple ways to play this song. I especially love his arpeggio picking. It really makes the song very recognizable. I did notice that he is teaching a few more chords to the song than what I have listed in the fake book sheets below. However, I played through the whole song and I didn’t find the extra chords necessary.

Anyway, play around this one. It’s well worth it and as always, if you need any help…. Leave me comments below
