Redlight Blue gives the Wonderwall chords a different songbook

The animated lesson travels from Don McLean to Noah Kahan, with a Schitt's Creek-inspired stop along the way.

EASY GUITAR SONGS that aren't WONDERWALLEASY GUITAR SONGS that aren't WONDERWALL

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:27"American Pie" opens the decade-by-decade lesson with basic strumming.
  2. 0:54The Schitt's Creek-inspired "Simply the Best" arrangement uses a fourth-fret capo and soft thumb strumming.
  3. 1:30"Slide" uses a first-fret capo and an intro riff; "Talk Tonight" supplies another Oasis option.
  4. 2:40The 2000s selections include "Yellow", "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "Far Away".
  5. 4:13"Dial Drunk" and "Billy Stay" use capos at the first and fifth frets respectively.

Don McLean, Tina Turner and Zach Bryan make surprisingly convenient neighbors on a beginner guitarist's set list. Redlight Blue's only new upload, "EASY GUITAR SONGS that aren't WONDERWALL", uses that familiar Oasis starting point to build a repertoire across several decades.

The stick-figure narrator starts with "American Pie", then brings out a capo and softer thumb strumming for a Schitt's Creek-inspired version of "Simply the Best". The nineties section doesn't abandon Oasis altogether: "Talk Tonight" gets a turn alongside the Goo Goo Dolls' "Slide". Later, Coldplay, Green Day and Nickelback receive echoey bathroom performances before the lesson reaches Noah Kahan and Zach Bryan.

That Oasis detour has given viewers something to discuss. Some point to "Wonderwall" as useful rhythm practice rather than merely an easy song; others recognize "Talk Tonight" or suggest another Oasis option, "D'You Know What I Mean?". One listener connects "American Pie" with Weird Al's "The Saga Begins".

The new lesson has collected roughly 16,000 views. But "Intermediate Guitarists Can Do This", posted shortly before this week, is drawing the most daily viewing of the channel's active uploads, comfortably beyond the new song guide.

Redlight Blue's subscriber count held steady, while daily views are currently below their usual level. Nearby music channels offer a mixed picture: KALONICA NICX is viewing above its usual daily pace, while Sean Daniel and Scott Paul Johnson are quieter than usual too. For Redlight Blue, the week's useful contrast is between expanding a beginner's songbook and giving intermediate players their next skills checklist.

  • Wonderwall is not suggested because it's easy. It's suggested because it's relatively easy while actually having some subtle strumming patterns to teach you about rythum etc.

    Still play it every now and then after 30 years because it's a useful rythum practice/warmup.
  • D’You Know What I Mean is another Oasis song besides Wonderwall that uses these same chords
