Wonderwall

How to play Wonderwall by Oasis on guitar

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

Wonderwall is a great song to learn because the progression is easy to recognize and it feels steady and familiar once you lock into it. You can get a full-sounding accompaniment without needing flashy technique, so it is a strong beginner goal.

The chart uses open shapes for A, E, and D, while F#m and B are the harder barre shapes. The main change to watch is the move between F#m and B in the opening progression, since that shift asks for clean hand placement and good pressure.

Start by practicing F#m - A - B - F#m slowly and evenly, making each change as relaxed as possible. Then add the other open shapes from the chart and repeat the loop until your hands move without hesitation. Once that feels secure, bring it up to tempo in small steps.

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.
