Creep Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Creep guitar lessons with chords and strumming patterns. This song was released in the early 90s (1992) and is a fantastic song to work on for dynamics.
Now you can make this song as easy or as hard as you want. If you want to make it easier, I would recommend playing the entire song as power chords. If you choose this option, you will lose the minor tone of the Cm barre chord, but it will still work.
If you want to make it harder of super hard, I would recommend using some barre chords or playing the whole thing as barres.

The key to this song is really the dynamics of the highs and lows, the softs VS the louds. Give the song a once over to get the idea of the listener journey, then try to apply that to when you are playing along with the song.
The great thing about this song is that it is literally the SAME chord progression over and over again. See my notes below for some of the different strumming options.
