How to practise this song
- 1
Put your capo on fret 3
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
- 2
Practise the barre chord Ab
Ab 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 - 3
Practise the change: Ab ↔ A
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.

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