How to Play Hello - - Chords

"Hello" by Adele is a piano-driven power ballad from her 2015 album *25*, a record built around themes of nostalgia, regret, and the passage of time. While originally centered on piano and vocals, the song translates well to electric guitar, offering a strong foundation for practicing expressive chord work and dynamic control. Its straightforward harmonic structure makes it accessible for intermediate players looking to develop feel and phrasing.

  • The chord progression is beginner-friendly but rewards players who focus on smooth transitions and clean voicings.
  • "Hello" comes from Adele's third studio album *25*, released on 20 November 2015 via XL Recordings and Columbia Records.
  • The song's slow tempo gives guitarists room to focus on tone, vibrato, and emotional phrasing rather than technical speed.
