Taylor Swift and Zac Effron performed a duet of this song live on the Ellen Show last February and their performance wrapped up over 16 million views on YouTube.Īt number 2 in my acoustic countdown is a song called “Let Her Go” by Mike Rosenberg (Passenger). One of the best things about this song is that it’s really easy to make up lyrics to make it fun. I have attached a tutorial video below by Jen Trani who does a good job explaining how to play each part of the song, including the tricky part at the beginning. If you listen carefully you’ll notice that he hammers on and off certain strings before switching chords which gives off a heavenly type sound. In the live version above Mark uses a capo to barre the 7th fret and plays the the following chords: E minor, G, D and A. The only difficult part of this song is the solo rift at the beginning, besides that, the song is simple because it uses the same chords over and over. I have posted a video of Foster and the People performing this song live on SIRUS XM Radio. The song in general is pretty sad because its about a delusional/ psychotic young person with that intends to kill people, “You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet.” Besides the actual lyrics the song is really catchy and the it’s not that difficult to play on guitar. In 2011 this song reached number 1 on Billboard top 100 and the band received two grammy award nominations by MTV. Foster set the band up in 2009 and soon after they released Pumped up Kicks.

The band members include Mark Foster (lead singer), Cubbie Fink (bass player) and Mark Pontius. At 1st place is “Pumped Up Kicks” and this song was written by an American band called Foster and the People.
