Alexia

How to play Alexia by Unknown on guitar

Alexia is a good beginner song to learn because the tempo sits at a steady pace and the chord changes feel clear once you lock in the pattern. You get a strong, driving feel without needing anything flashy, so it is a nice way to build confidence while staying focused on clean transitions.

The chart uses two open shapes, Dm and F, but most of the song leans on barre chords like Fm, D#, C#, A#, Gm, G#, and Cm. The change to watch first is the opening move from Fm to D# to C# and back to D#, since that shift sets the shape of the whole progression and can feel tight at first.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one chord at a time, until your hands land cleanly. Then loop just the barre chords, and only after that bring in the open shapes where they appear. Once the changes feel even, raise the speed in small steps until you can play it at tempo.

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.
