ABCDEFU - GAYLE | Guitar Tutorial

More Details

A defiant take on the aftermath of a breakup, “ABCDEFU” stands as an empowering female anthem. The track is a single from rising 17-year old Nashville-based singer GAYLE and the debut release with her “dream” label, Atlantic Records.

Throughout the song, GAYLE sings about a particular breakup that she went through and the real feelings it evoked in her. Initially, GAYLE wanted to be the bigger person and be considerate towards her ex, but her unfiltered feelings inevitably escape her. She literally and figuratively spells them out. The breakup song eventually rose to fame on TikTok, thus making its way onto a variety of popular playlists, catapulting the song’s rise.

I'm wondering if you've heard the acoustic guitar version? Click on the video above and follow today's teacher, guitar goddess Michelle, and learn how to play this song in the easiest and fastest way possible.

The acoustic guitar tutorial for this song has only four chords and two strumming patterns, making it very easy to memorize. The chord progressions are in the same order throughout the entire song, from E major to G# to C#m to A major. The first strumming pattern appears in the verse and pre-choruses, and it is very simple with only eight down strums per chord. The second strumming pattern appears in the chorus and it's more of a down up mute pattern. Once you have the chord progressions and strumming patterns memorized, you have literally everything you need to play the entire song.

The guitar that Michelle teaches you to play in the video is a Glarry GT502 acoustic guitar. This is the most iconic and highest selling acoustic guitar in Glarry's lineup. This fantastic dreadnought style consists of a spruce top and basswood body with a rosewood fingerboard that has a nice rolled edge for comfort. Tonally it is full, round and extremely punchy. The cutaway body design allows for easy access to the upper frets. The lightweight body is perfect for on-the-go and fingerpicking, and can easily go from the beach to the festival stage.

The most incredible thing about the GT502 is its unbelievably low price. Glarry's reputation is built on quality and value for money - and the GT502 is undeniable proof of that. Arguably, it is one of the best value options on the market, and even available in a wide range of colors.

In even more explosive news, all finishes of the GT502 are currently on special for a limited time. Inventory is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
