A Night To Remember

How to play A Night To Remember by beabadoobee, Laufey on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play Em, C#m, A, G, B, F#m and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is worth learning because it has a smooth, late-night feel and a steady pulse that makes the harmony easy to hear as you play. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a comfortable groove, but the advanced level means you need clean changes and even timing to make it feel polished.

You will move between open shapes and barre shapes, so the left hand has to stay relaxed and ready. The opening progression Gm - Em - Gm - C shows the main challenge right away: switching from a barre shape to an open shape and back without losing the beat. Watch that change closely, since it will shape the whole song.

Start by looping just the opening progression slowly, then add the next chord changes until they feel automatic. After that, practice in short sections at a slightly slower tempo, and only bring it up to full speed when each change sounds clear 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.
