10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)

Minimum skill needed to play

You can play this song if you are comfortable with the chords and any basic strumming pattern. There are several chord transitions to have a grasp on before playing as some chords are only 1 beat each, though strumming can be fairly sparse in quieter sections like the verses.

Chords and chord transitions

You can play the chords of the original key using G chord shapes with no capo. Use the Chord Shape Finder below to pick what chord shapes you want to play. Here's how it works:

• First choose the key of the song.
• Then choose the capo fret until "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and the chords listed in "Chord Shapes" are ones you know or want to learn. This allows you to play the song using chords and chord shapes you know while the song is in a key you don't know.
• View chords and chord transition pairs for suggested voicings.

What to watch out for

You can play this song without consistent strumming during the verses, such as one strum per chord. Consistent and full strumming is really only needed for the Choruses in the middle of the song.

The chord changes in the Chorus can be quick transitions but are made easier to play by not requiring full strumming throughout the song.

How to play this song solo

Start by strumming each chord once (single strums) as you play through the song. Once you feel comfortable with the speed of the chord transitions and/or continued strumming pattern, you can strum through the choruses and instrumental sections.
