One of my Beginner guitar students recently started learning Zombie by The Cranberries, so I thought I’d put together a quick “how to” video for how to play it.
It’s a really cool song for beginners because there are only four (pretty straight forward) chords played throughout the whole song.
There are a couple of different ways to play and change between these chords, and I’ve selected that worked best for my student, but different hands might find different approaches a little easier.
The Original – Live/Acoustic
Here is the original song played live, and this is the video I used to decipher what chords were being played. Notice that she actually plays the C major 7 and the G6 with fingers 2 and 3. You can try this too.
