  • Hey guys of Cifra Club! I'm Leo Eymard

  • And today I'll teach you the simplified version of the song I See Fire by Ed Sheeran

  • In this lesson I'll use the Eagle acoustic guitar EMA 663

  • The studio version of this song have some little solos that aren't so simple for who is starting

  • So I decided to do this simplified version for who don't have so much practice, but also wants to play this song

  • To play on original key, doing more simple chords, we'll need a capo on first fret

  • And the chords forms that we'll use to play this song are that:

  • I'll start playing Intro and First Part and after show I'll the rhythm

  • Let's go!

  • Well, you saw that in this part I've played we'll being repeating a rhythm pattern on each chord

  • This way:

  • Just it

  • On each chord we'll play this one time

  • One hit down

  • After, we hit down again, but now we'll mute the sound leaning this right hand part

  • We'll use index, middle and ring finger to play

  • That's the way that we'll play all chords. On Intro will be like this:

  • Following starts the first part and we'll play the same way

  • Two hits down on each chord

  • Being the first one normal, and the second one muted

  • Just on the last chord of the first part, F

  • We'll hit just one time down

  • Without the muted hit that comes after

  • We play and let it sound until Chorus starts

  • On Chorus the chords are the same, but we'll play a different rhythm. Take a look:

  • The chorus rhythm is played divided between two chords

  • Before show with two chords I'll show with one, and after you'll see the right division

  • Let's go

  • This rhythm has two parts

  • Let's start just with Am

  • On the first part we'll hit 3 times down

  • and on the second one we'll hit 3 times down again

  • and after hit one time down

  • and one hit up

  • Joining this two parts, we have the complet rhythm

  • This is the chorus rhythm

  • But it's played divided between chords, so we'll do this:

  • On first chord we'll play the first part

  • and on the following chord, we play the second one

  • The sequence with 3 chords that we'll repeat is this:

  • So, on chorus, we'll play this way

  • First part on the first chord and the second part on the second chord

  • Just on Dm, that is on the last line of chorus, that we'll hit just one time down

  • That is the chorus last chord, and because of this we'll let it sound

  • Like i've showed on the First Part last chord

  • After Chorus comes the Second Part, that will be played as the first one

  • Following comes another Chorus, that is the same too

  • After comes the Third Part, that we'll play with this same chorus rhythm

  • Just the chords arrangement changes

  • To finish this song, we'll play Chorus one more time

  • The lyrics changes a bit, but playing way is the same that I've taught you

  • After Chorus we play again the Intro sequence. This way:
