Playing “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars on the guitar brings out the beauty and soulfulness of the powerful lyrics even more. The song features a simple yet poignant fingerstyle guitar part that beautifully accompanies the melody. Beginners might find it a bit challenging at first due to the various chord changes, but with consistent practice, the chord progression becomes easier to master.

Rhythmically, it’s mostly about arpeggiating the chords and emphasizing the important lines in the melody. The song tests the guitarist’s ability to articulate different notes and chords, while maintaining coherence and fluidity in their strumming pattern. This is a tune that’s both a pleasure to learn and a joy to play, definitely something to consider adding to your repertoire.
