Eternity

How to play Eternity by Alex Warren on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play Em, G, Am, C, D, Bm and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is worth learning because it gives you a strong, modern pop feel that sits well at about 120 BPM. You get a steady groove that feels driving but still musical, so it is a good choice if you want something that sounds polished without being overly complex.

The chart mixes open shapes and barre shapes, so your left hand has to switch between easier grips and the harder ones. The main thing to watch is the opening move from Gm to A# to Cm and back to Gm, since that shift can feel tight until your fingers learn the distance.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly and cleanly, then add the rest of the chord changes one at a time. Once your switches feel automatic, bring the tempo up in small steps until you can keep the groove steady without rushing the barre chords.

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.
