Alex Warren - Ordinary

How to play Alex Warren - Ordinary by 7clouds on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it sits in a comfortable tempo and gives you a clean, steady progression to lock into. It feels direct and musical, so you can focus on smooth changes and confidence instead of speed.

You can keep most of it in open shapes with G, Em, D, and E, which makes it easier on the fretting hand. The main thing to watch is the move into E after D, since that shift can feel a little less natural at first. If your chart brings in B, Cm, or Bm later, those barre shapes will ask for more hand pressure and accuracy.

Start by looping G - Em - D - E slowly until the changes feel relaxed. Then practice the hardest switch on its own, and only after that play through the full progression at a steady pulse. When it feels stable, bring the tempo up little by little until it matches the song.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
