Mashups are a very interesting way of presenting many songs either on a common chord progression or a beat. And if the intent is to make it simpler for beginner guitar players, then the number of chords can be reduced to include just the tonic and a few more.
This is precisely what I have done with these 25 songs (list below). In an attempt to make the overall mashup playable by all, I have intentionally used only 2 chords for the entire set which are an A minor and a G major.
Kindly note that in such an attempt when minimum number of chords are being used, the melody might need to be changed slightly to fit the song into the desired chord progression, but even with that, the whole mashup will be coherent with the original feel of these tracks. And that is something that you will notice in the video too.
Yes, it's a pretty cool mashup with some equally cool songs that can be played by guitar platers of all levels.
Hope you guys dig it!

Strumming Pattern Explained
D D U U D D DU
- Start with two steady downstrokes to establish the rhythm.
- Follow with two light upstrokes while keeping your wrist relaxed.
- Play the next two downstrokes with slightly more emphasis to drive the groove forward.
- Finish with a smooth down-up movement without breaking the flow.
- Keep the motion continuous rather than treating each stroke separately.
- Practice the pattern slowly first, then increase speed while maintaining consistency.
Teaching Notes (PRO Tips)
- Focus on clean transitions between Am and G, as these are the only chords used throughout the mashup.
- Try singing each melody slowly before attempting the full mashup sequence.
- Since different songs have different original chord progressions, slightly adjust the melody where required to fit the Am–G progression.
- Keep your strumming steady and avoid speeding up when changing songs.
- Practice individual song sections first, then connect them together into one continuous performance.
