The chords that are used to play the song "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars are explained in this guitar tutorial hosted by Jen Trani. Mahalo.com has produced this video and has additional tutorials that can be viewed on the Mahalo.com YouTube channel.

Step 1: Use a Capo

To play this song, you will need a capo. This is a device that is similar to a clamp. It can be placed across any fret of the guitar and will depress all of the strings. When the capo is in place, each note and chord that is played will be one half step higher. For this song, the capo is placed on the third fret and will increase the pitch by one and a half steps.http://www.stringsandbeyond.com/whatisacapo.html

Step 2: Learn the Chords

There are three chords that will be used throughout the entire song. It may be helpful to practice playing each chord so that you can transition through them smoothly.

D chord - Place your index finger on the second fret of the G string, middle finger on the second fret of the high E string and your ring finger on the third fret of the B string. Strum the chord starting at the D string and downward.http://www.morphis.com/guitar_lessons/lesson_6.asp
B Minor chord - Your index finger will be placed on the second fret of the high E string, your middle finger on the third fret of the B string, your ring finger on the fourth fret of the G string and your pinky finger on the fourth fret of the D string.This chord is played strumming from the D string downward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD8gRtG63N4&feature=player_embedded
G chord - Begin with your index finger on the second fret of the A string, your middle finger on the third fret of the low E string and your pinky finger on the third fret of the high E string. Strum the chord from the low E string downward.http://www.morphis.com/guitar_lessons/lesson_6.asp

Step 3: Learn the Strumming Pattern

The strumming pattern establishes the rhythm of the song. For this tune, you will use the same strumming pattern throughout the verse and the chorus. The song is played using all down strokes. This is the type of strumming that begins with a top string and is directed down toward the high E string. Rather than strumming the strings on the way back up, pull your picking hand away from the stings and strum them downward again.http://www.guitarchordsmagic.com/how-to-play-guitar-chords/strumming.html When playing each chord, be sure to begin the down stroke on the proper string for that chord.
