Guilty Pleasures Part 2: A Mashup Video of "YMCA" and Justin Bieber's "Baby"

February 23, 2019

As I was compiling a list of some of my favorite guilty pleasure songs, I realized that “Baby” by Justin Bieber and “YMCA” by the Village People have the exact same chord progressions. So I made a mashup video because why not? Here’s how you can play along with me. . .

Play “Baby” and “YMCA” in the Key of G

CHORDS USED: G, Em, C, and D, in that order. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

STRUM: Play each chord for a count of eight. I’m playing the Island Strum 2x per chord (with some chucks added in).
