Bon Jovi

How to play Bon Jovi by Unknown on guitar

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

This song is a strong pick if you want to work on a minor-key groove at a steady mid-tempo pace. It feels driving and confident, and the repeating progression makes it satisfying to lock in once your hands settle.

You can lean on the open C and F shapes, but the chart also asks for several barre shapes, so your fretting hand needs to stay relaxed and ready for movement. The main change to watch is the opening loop, C - G# - C - G#, since that quick back-and-forth will expose any hesitation.

Start by practicing C and G# slowly until the switch feels automatic, then add the rest of the shapes one at a time. Once the changes are clean, play the opening loop with a steady pulse, then bring it up to tempo in short bursts.

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.
