Artist : Justin Bieber Song : What Do You Mean Tabbed by : Dave Tran instagram : davetran email : davetran01@gmail.com Tuning Standard Capo on 1st Key : G#major These are the chords and tabs to Justin Bieber's acoustic version of "What Do You Mean" The guitarist plays a billion variations so I've simplified the song to the version below, and you can add your own spin on it. There's also a beginners version for those starting out which is much more simplified without the licks.
