Christina Perri Jar of Hearts Guitar Tutorial

Learn how to play the song Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri with this free acoustic guitar tutorial. This is Christina’s debut single released on iTunes in 2007.  It is from her album Lovestrong.  Learn more about the song over at Wikipedia.

This song is not really a beginner song, but it isn’t super difficult either.  I guess you could classify it as an intermediate song as you will need to play a few barre chords and some of the chord changes are a bit tricky. It really is a great song to practice with though.

You will need a capo on the first fret to play this particular version of the song.  If you do not know what a capo is or how to use one, check out this lesson on how to use a guitar capo.  In that post, you will also find a link to where you can purchase a good , inexpensive capo online.

The chord shapes for this song are:  B Minor (Marty teaches a B Minor Barre Chord in the lesson below.  There is an easy cheat version of the B Minor chord on this page), D Major, A Major, E Minor, G Major , G Minor and Asus4.

I hope you enjoy the video tutorial below!
