Songs and Info
The audio of this Best 2017 Pop Songs was recorded all in one take and there are no cuts or overdubs.
The most difficult part was connecting the songs together. I didn’t want to have any gap between the songs so the transition needed to be smooth and not “forced”.
I spent a significant amount of time putting the songs in the right order so that the mashup sounds smooth and also easy to perform.
Shape of You – Ed Sheeran
This song was a huge hit in 2017. Ed Sheeran really proved his skills as songwriter.
I personally love the initial riff of the song which is full of rhythm and “groove”.
For this mashup I only focused on the intro.
Havana – Camila Cabello
Another awesome song to play.
I personally love the chord progression that ends with the dominant seventh chord which gives a Latin vibe to the song.
Camila Cabello deserves her song in the Best 2017 Pop Song.
It was an awesome year for the singer and she got on the top charts with few of her songs.
Attention – Charlie Puth
This song is really fun to play.
The rhythm, chords and melody make this song a best 2017 pop song for sure.
Charlie Puth is solid musician and songwriter. He became really popular with the song “See you Again” which it was featured in Fast and Furious 7.
Despacito – Luis Fonsi
This song has become insanely popular and it is currently the most watched video on YouTube with over 4,500,000,000 views (I checked the number three times and it’s correct).
The songs sound quite Latino like and the chord progression is really simple.
The melody is so catchy that you can find yourself mumbling the songs even after you have been exposed to it few times.
I like it Better – Lauv
This is a lovely song to listen and play on guitar.
Very simple chord progression and melody. The rhythm is also very groovy.
You will find yourself dancing a little bit while listening to this song.
Say You Won’t let Go – James Arthur
British songwriter James Arthur definitely win a spot in the Best 2017 Pop Songs played on Guitar.
The singer came back after a setback and recovering from alcohol.
This is so far his best song. The melody and guitar part are beautiful and melodic and it takes just few minutes to learn the song.
I love it.
Too Good at Goodbyes – Sam Smith
This talented British singer songwriter came back with an amazing song and a beautiful album.
Sam Smith is famous for his high pitch tone and strong falsetto.
You can hear it all in this beautiful ballad which is also really sad.
It definitely win a spot in the Best 2017 Pop Songs on Guitar.
Perfect – Ed Sheeran
Another song from the British composer Ed Sheeran.
This song is beautiful and super fun to play.
The melody is quite jumpy so it will take a while before you can actually play it correctly but it’s all worth it.
