All About That Bass Guitar Chords — Meghan Trainor | Key of A Major
Guitar chords by Meghan Trainor · A Major
About This Song
All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor (2014) is a doo-wop inspired pop hit that works beautifully on guitar. The song uses four chords — A, Bm, E, and D — in the key of A Major. The Bm chord is the only minor shape and the trickiest for beginners; consider using a simplified Bm (xx4432) or a capo on fret 2 to play it as Am for an even easier version. The verse and chorus share the same chord movement, so once you learn one section you essentially know the whole song. The bridge introduces a brief key shift — follow the chord layout above carefully. A great song for building chord change speed at JBX Music guitar classes in Mumbai.
