    Hi Jonathan,

    I am trying to play the below song, It uses chords G, D, Bm and A

    https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/maisy-stella/riding-free-chords-2071071

    I am trying to convert the above chords as per your chord variations using the Transpose cheat sheet, however I can’t make it out.

    Can you please to advise using what chords I can play the above song ?

     

    Thanks,

    Aiesh

    Hello Aiesh.

    This song is in the key of G, so you can replace any Bm with the Bm7 from the G chord family. You can replace the D with D/F#. The A you may be able to replace with Am7 from the G chord family. Try it out and see how it sounds to you. In most cases this will work. If not, you can use A major, which is what is originally called for. Sometimes, songs break the standard rules and throw in a note not in the G scale, like in this case with the A major.
    Hope that helps!

    You never fail until you quit!
