This song is one of the easiest guitar pieces to learn, yet requires considerable dynamics. Practice strumming this song using an even strumming pattern with increased intensity of strumming as time progresses.
Chorus
The chorus is unquestionably the centerpiece of any song, serving as its catchiest, loudest and most energetic element, providing emotional payoff through lyrics and melody.
Choruses often incorporate melody and chord progression of songs as part of their structure; however, choruses can also be defined by repeated lyrics that repeat throughout a song’s verses or verses. Lyrical choruses are especially prevalent in pop music genres, though all genres feature them.
Writing lyrics and melodies first is sometimes easier, with chord progression coming second. However, it is worth keeping in mind that creating an effective chorus may simply require using one chord progression throughout an entire song.
Zombie contains only two chords in its chorus – E minor and C major 7. To improve performance, practice these shapes together for one minute before switching between them to create different dynamics; such as playing a quiet verse before strumming out loud during chorus.
Verse

Boasting only four chords with an easy strumming pattern, this piece also makes an excellent introduction for beginners.
Em, Cmaj7 (played the same way as a regular C chord, but with finger 1 lifted off: X32000), G6 (3X0000), and F7 (2X0000).
These chords are some of the most frequently played in Western music and all easy to learn.
