All of Me


"All Of Me" by John Legend is a heartfelt piano-driven ballad that translates beautifully to electric guitar. Written as a love song, it features simple, memorable chord progressions that make it an ideal piece for intermediate players looking to develop clean rhythm playing and expressive phrasing. Its melodic structure offers guitarists a great opportunity to practice dynamics and chord transitions in a musical, song-based context.

  • The chord progression is straightforward and repetitive, making it accessible for players still building fretboard confidence.
  • This easy guitar version simplifies the original piano arrangement, focusing on core chords that capture the song's emotional feel.
  • The song's slow tempo gives beginners extra time to navigate chord changes cleanly without rushing.
