Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion

How to play Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion by Unknown on guitar

Sweet Emotion is a great beginner tune because it has a strong, familiar groove and a repeating feel that makes it easy to lock in. You can focus on clean changes and steady timing, and it feels rewarding once the pattern starts to flow.

Most of the chart uses open shapes, with F#m and G# as the harder barre chords. The main thing to watch is the move in the opening progression, Am - A - F#m - A, since that shift from open shapes into a barre chord can slow you down if your hand is not ready.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly and making each chord change sound clear. Then loop the open shapes first, add the barre chords one at a time, and only speed up once your changes feel smooth and even.

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.
