Chords for Ironic - Alanis Morissette | Easy Guitar Tutorial, Simple Chords and Strumming

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hi, welcome to 5-Minute Guitar Lessons.
In today's lesson, we're going to learn Ironic by Alanis Morissette, and that is on the 1995
album Jagged Little Pill.
This song uses a capo on the fourth fret.
So when I'm putting my capo on, I'm sure to always put it just beside the fret.
You get a nice clean sound that way.
If I put it too far from the [Gm] fret, _ it [N] doesn't sound very good.
_ [B] Also, before you get started, take a moment to look in the description, download our chord
chart for this song.
That'll help you follow along with this lesson and with the original recording.
Alright, here we go.
_ _ Here are the chords we'll be using in this song.
G, _ _ _ _ _ C, [E] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] D, _ _ _ _ _ D over F sharp, _ _ _ _ [G#m] E minor 7, _ _ _ _ and F.
[A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ Now let's try the chords from the verse using downstrokes.
We'll do two downstrokes per chord.
_ _ One, two, three, [F#] four.
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The strumming pattern goes [C]
down, down, [B] up, down, [F#] up, down, down, down, up.
_ [B] _ _
_ _ We can divide that into three parts.
[F#] The first part would go down, down, up.
_ [B] The second part goes down, up, down.
_ And the third part goes [B] down, down, up. _
_ [N] _ All together we get down, down, up, down, up, down, down, [F#] down, up.
_ [B] _ _ _ And you might have noticed there that we changed chords during the strumming pattern.
That's because the strumming pattern takes up the space of two chords.
So we can pair off the chords and the first chord would go down, down, up.
_ [F#] And then the chord right after it would go down, up, down, down, down, up.
_ _ _ And then when you put that together you get D, G, _ [F#] D, [G#m] E minor.
_ Now let's try that with the chords from the [F#] verse. _ _
_ One, two, three, four.
[B] _ _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The chorus goes like this.
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _
_ _ We can try that together now. _ _
_ One, two, three, four.
_ [B] _
_ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ [F#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#] _ The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
bridge goes like this. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ Now let's try the bridge together. _ _
_ _ Two, three, four. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
