How to practise this song

  1. 1

    Practise the barre chord Bb

    Bb is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

    Open
  2. 2

    Practise the change: Bb ↔ Am

    Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

    Open
  3. 3

    Great first song

    Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
