Two BIGGEST Pop Songs Of 2026

Learn how to play two of the biggest songs of 2026 on guitar — Olivia Dean's Man I Need and Joe Keery's End of Beginnings — and discover the surprising thing they have in common: the same chords, and a capo at the first fret.

Breaking down both songs from their live performances, this tutorial covers everything from the foundational chord shapes (C, F major 7, A minor, G, and D minor) to the signature riffs and strumming patterns that make each track instantly recognisable. Whether you're playing acoustic or electric, there's something here for every level. Once you've got the basics locked in, the fun really starts — layering improvised lead guitar over the top using a looper pedal to create your own arrangement. Two fantastic songs, one approachable tutorial, and a whole lot of inspiration to get you playing.
