More Than a Feeling

How to play More Than a Feeling by Boston on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play G, F, C, Am, G#, D and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a classic to learn because it feels big and uplifting, with a steady drive that makes you feel locked in right away. You get a strong, familiar rock groove that is fun to play and satisfying when the changes land cleanly.

You can stay mostly in open shapes here, with D, C, G, Em, and A all available, but the harder barre shapes are D# and Bm if they show up later in your chart. The main thing to watch is the opening move between D, C, G, and back to D, since that change needs to sound smooth and even.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until your fingers move without hesitation. Then practice the full chord order in time, keeping each change clean before you try to speed it up. Once that feels solid, bring it up toward the song tempo and focus on staying relaxed through the transitions.

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.
