10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)

Minimum skill needed to play

Chords and chord transitions

First choose the key you will be playing the song in. Then try selecting different Capo options until the "Play shapes in" shows a key you are familiar with and Chord Shapes below are ones you know. This allows you to play the song using chords you know while the song is in a key you don't know.

Simply click or tap on any Chord shape buttons to see common ways to play each chord in the song. Chord transitions are also shown to show optimized chord shapes.

You can play the chords of the original key using G chord shapes with no capo.

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.
