How to play Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play G, D, Bm, A, F, Em, the shapes the player above shows.

This is a fun, high-energy song to learn because the progression is catchy and repeats in a way that helps you lock in quickly. It feels punchy and upbeat, so once you get the changes moving, it is very satisfying to play along with.

You can lean on the open shapes A, E, and G for the easier parts, but the barre shapes C#m, B, and F#m will take more hand strength and clean fretting. The main change to watch is the opening A - E - A - E move, since it sets the pace and can expose sloppy transitions if you rush it.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until your fingers land cleanly every time. Then add the barre shapes one at a time, keeping your tempo steady, and only speed up once each change feels automatic.

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.
