How to play "I Love Me" on guitar by Megan Moroney
[General Tips:]
Tuning: Standard tuning with a capo on the 6th fret to match the original key.

message is best conveyed with a clear, lively sound.
[Intro & Verse Chords:]
- Start with G, C, D, and repeat, setting a cheerful and bold tone.

strumming to focus on the lyrics, "I don't need your validation."
- This part can be played slightly softer to contrast with the more robust
chorus, providing a dynamic range within the song.
[Common Mistakes:]
- Avoid rushing through the chord changes, especially in the transition from
