🎸 Easy Chord Progression

The main progression for Excuses is:

Em → D → C → Bm

Practice the progression slowly:

Em → D → C → Bm → Em

Once you can change between the chords smoothly, add the strumming pattern.

D – D – U – U – D – U

The important thing is to maintain a steady rhythm rather than playing too fast.

🎯 Guitar Tip

Excuses sounds best when played softly.

Try letting the chords ring naturally instead of immediately muting them. During quieter parts, use light downstrokes, and bring in the complete strumming pattern during the stronger sections.

If Bm is difficult, practice the chord separately before trying to play the complete song.

📊 Difficulty

Intermediate

The chords are fairly straightforward, but the Bm barre chord, smooth chord transitions and maintaining the right rhythm require some practice.
