Bad Romance - Lady Gaga
This is one of my favorite songs to play and a great song for beginners! There are many ways to play this song some are easy, some are a bit more difficult. This Youtube video is not a tutorial but it really helped me to find my strum pattern and the rythm of the song.
Click here for the PDF file of the chords and lyrics to the song.
The strum pattern I use is, in the beginning, the "Ohhhhh...caught in a bad romance..." part I do either all Down Srums in a steady pattern or you can do Down Up strums in a steady pattern.
Then in the Verses " I want your Ugly...." I do three down strums then a chunk. ( You can find a How to Chunk Video on my home page) Same as this video except I add a chunk instead of a long down strum.
Then in the chorus I, personally do all Down strums in the same pattern as the video.
And so on. If this way isn't working or sounding right just try to find your own variation that works for you! Good Luck!
