What is up guys!
I am so excited to finally present to you my guitar tutorial for "We Don't Talk Anymore"
by Charlie Puth featuring Selena Gomez.
I am going to say that this is probably my most requested tutorial of the summer, which
it is not even summer anymore.
It is fall.
Better late than never!
So, let's go ahead and get started.
You guys are going to love this tutorial!
Not only are we going to go over strumming, but I have an amazing picking pattern that
is super easy for you beginners out there.
And it sounds actually pretty close to the original version of the song.
So, starting off here, we have a capo on the 4th fret and we are in standard tuning.
And this tutorial only has 4 chords.
Pretty easy.
The first one that we are going to start off with is an F major.
Now, you can do the open one if you'd like to.
I'm actually gonna do two different F majors.
So, the first one that I'm going to show you guys here is the barre chord version.
The second one is more of an F major 7th and this is the one that I'm going to use actually
when we are picking and it sounds like this.
Next, we have a G major.
An A minor.
And our last chord is an E minor.
Alright!
On to strumming, we're going to start bringing the song to life with some amazing patterns.
I actually have 4 different strumming patterns for you guys.
Feel free to experiment.
Switch them out in different sections or just add your own.
So, they're just examples to go by and you can totally do whatever you like!
Alright, so starting off with the easiest of patterns, this one is actually going to
open the song and we just have single down strums.
Alright!
This next pattern is where it gets more fun because this is actually going to go for the
verse and this is a very rhythmic pattern.
So, it sounds like this.
Alright!
So, the pattern is down up mute, down up mute, down down up.
So, down up mute, down up mute, down down up.
Alright!
So for the pre-chorus, I decided to go a little bit easier and we're going to do 4 downs and
1 up strum, so it's gonna sound like this.
So, with a chord.
Now, our final pattern is for the chorus and this is going to be our longest pattern of
them all and it's going to be.
With a chord...
Only it's gonna be a little bit faster than that.
So, I'll take that one a little bit slower.
Alright!
So, we're gonna go ahead and hop into a close-up and get into that picking pattern.
Alright!
So this picking pattern is going to be super simple because we are going to be using the
same 3 strings over and over again for all of the chords.
So, we're going to be using the D G and B strings. So, we're going to go ahead and start on the F major 7th.
I like to use that instead of the actual F major. I think it actually sounds even prettier.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and just start picking. And you'll notice that after the end of the
picking pattern, I actually go back to the G string at the end before switching chords.
So, it just kinda helps with the transition a little bit and we're actually going to be
picking this pattern 5 times around for each chord and I'm gonna be using my thumb on the
D string, my index on the G string and my middle on the B string. So, it should sound
like...
And this picking pattern is actually perfect if you have a friend to play guitar with you.
Obviously, you can do the picking pattern by yourself if you want and incorporate it
with strumming, but you can actually have a friend do the picking and you can actually
do the strumming or vice versa.
Alright! Cool! So, that's it for chords and strumming. Real quick, I actually have a printable
lesson available. You guys are absolutely going to love this because not only does it
have the lyrics and the chords, but it also has the strumming patterns here as well for

that wasn't me. 'Cause even after all this time I still wonder why I can't move on just
