How to play abc (nicer) by GAYLE on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the progression is simple, direct, and easy to lock into at about 120 BPM. You get a steady, upbeat feel that is satisfying to play once the changes start landing cleanly.

You can lean on the open shapes E, Dm, and A, but the harder part is the barre shapes G#, C#m, C#, F#m, G#m, and Fm. The change to watch most closely is the opening move from E to G# and back again, since that shift sets the pace for the rest of the chart.

Start by looping E - G# - E - G# slowly until your fingers move without hesitation. Then add the other chord changes one at a time, keeping the rhythm even, and only speed up once each switch feels smooth.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
