How to play About Damn Time by Lizzo on guitar

This song is a fun one to learn because it has a strong, confident groove and a steady pulse that makes you want to keep playing. At about 120 BPM, it feels lively but still very manageable for a beginner, so you can focus on staying locked in with the rhythm.

The chart uses barre shapes throughout, so your fretting hand will need to stay clean and relaxed. The opening run goes Cm - F#m - F# - G#, and that first move is the one to watch most closely because it sets up the rest of the shape changes. Keep your fingers close to the fretboard so the shifts feel smooth.

Start by drilling each chord shape one at a time, then practice the opening progression slowly until the changes feel automatic. After that, loop the four-chord sequence with a steady count, and only then bring it up to full tempo. If you can keep the rhythm even, the song will come together quickly.

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.
