How to play twilight zone by Ariana Grande on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play G, Am, C, F, Em, the shapes the player above shows.

Twilight Zone is a good beginner song because it sits in a comfortable groove and lets you focus on clean changes instead of speed. At about 120 BPM, it should feel steady and relaxed once you lock into the pattern of the progression.

Most of the song uses open shapes - C, Dm, F, and Am - so your fretting hand can stay fairly light. The main shape to watch is A#, since it is the harder barre chord and will likely take the most extra pressure and accuracy when it appears.

Start by looping the opening progression, C - Dm - C - F, until the moves feel automatic. Then add the harder shape only after the open chords are smooth, and finally play along at tempo in short sections before trying the whole song.

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.
