I became someone else’s girlfriend.wacci
A five-piece pop-rock band that made their major debut in 2012, wacci’s song.
It’s a track that lets you soak in a sentimental mood, with memorable, bittersweet lyrics and melody.
Most of the chords are simple, making it approachable for beginner guitarists; however, it also features chords like D/F#, where strings 1–3 are fretted, strings 4 and 5 are open, and the 6th string is held down.
This requires practicing a grip that wraps the neck so you can fret with your thumb.
Once you master this form, it will be useful for many acoustic guitar songs, so it’s a good idea to get comfortable with it through this piece.

It’s a famous American song from the 1960s that became popular in Japan through a Japanese-language cover by Kiyoshiro Imawano’s band, The Timers.
It’s a fun tune that everyone—from adults to children—can hum along to.
The chord progression is simple, so it’s the kind of song you can master quickly and want to sing together with everyone!

While many of Suga Shikao’s songs are quite challenging, this one is easy in both chords and strumming, so it’s great for practice.

It’s a song that has been praised as a masterpiece and covered by various top artists like Mr.
