Firework Chords & Guitar Lesson
This is my Firework chord chart by Katy Perry. Fun, simple and easy song. We can work a little bit on dynamics in this song meaning how loud we play or how many strums we use in certain sections. The second to last chorus we can let the strums ring out a bit more. You can work on strumming louder on the choruses and lighter on the pre-choruses and verses.
The chords in this song are very easy if you put a capo on the first fret of the guitar.
