Learnin' to Fly goes F, C, Am, G (in the version I have) but if I put the capo on 5 then i can use the C, G, Em, D chord shapes. It's a way to avoid the dreaded F. The transpose feature at ultimate guitar is a handy way to see if a capo can get you into an easier set of chord shapes.
Hey John, yes so G D Em C can also be called a I V vi IV progression in the key of G. The roman numerals are simply numbers of the chords, starting with the chord that determines the key. So in the key of G you have G=1, Am=2, Bm=3, C=4, D=5, Em=6, and F=7. When you're talking about the chords C G Am and F, it's also a I V vi IV progression but this time in the key of C, C=1, Dm=2, Em=3, F=4, G=5, Am=6, and B=7. So to play a song with these chords you can still use the G D Em C chord shapes, but you would put your capo on the 5th fret and then you'd be playing in the key of C. Not every song listed will have the chords in that order, they may be different orders, but those 4 chords, along with the use of the capo to change keys, can be used to play any of the songs listed : ).

Thank you Taylor, it's a kind of help to learn different kinds of simple guitar technics.
Really fun. Like learning guitar from Judd Apatow!
Thank you for imparting.
Thanks this has really helped me as a beginner
Great lesson Taylor. Thank you for sharing your tips ❤❤
Interesting!, It's based on G (I, V, Vi, IV) but most beginners learn from C. Anyway thanks for the info and help.
Im confused. You went over G D Em and C but the link for the songs says G Am F and C with different orders using V IV VI or something

Thank you Taylor. You make guitar 🎸 a lot easier 😁
Can you give us a list of these songs
