About this lesson

Learn how to play “Risk It All” by Bruno Mars on guitar in this step-by-step lesson. This song has some really beautiful R&B and jazz-influenced chord movements, but I’ll walk you through them slowly so they’re easier to understand and play. In this lesson you'll learn: ⦿ The intro chord progression ⦿ The verse chords and rhythm ⦿ The jazzy diminished passing chords ⦿ The bridge progression ⦿ A few optional embellishments from the original recording Even though the chords look complex on paper, many of the shapes repeat throughout the song once you get comfortable with them. 🎸 Grab my FREE Ultimate Guitar Guide (chords, scales, arpeggios & more): 🔥 More Guitar Lessons & FREE Courses: https://www.martymusic.com/free-courses 🌐 Join the Marty Music Community & Unlock ALL My Courses!
