When it comes to simplicity and raw sentiment, few songs rival John Legend’s ‘All of Me’. The guitar accompaniment in this beautiful ballad is both basic and powerful, making it an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate players.

The chord progression involves Em, C, G, and D, played at a relaxed tempo. The real nuance of this song shines through in the rhythm of the strumming pattern. It provides a solid foundation for the stunning vocals but it also stands on its own as a fantastic piece of understated musicality. Understanding and replicating the rhythm might be a bit of a challenge for beginners, but stick with it and you’ll bring a whole new depth to the song.
