broken

How to play broken by lovelytheband on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it sits in a steady, catchy groove and feels easy to lock into once you catch the repeating motion. You get a simple, upbeat flow that sounds good quickly, so it is rewarding to learn even at a basic level.

Most of the chart uses open shapes, with just a few harder barre shapes mixed in. The main thing to watch is the move from G to Gm in the opening progression - that small shift can feel awkward at first, so keep it clean and slow before you speed up.

Start by looping A - G - Gm - Am until the changes feel automatic, then add the rest of the song in short sections. Practice the barre shapes separately, then put them back into the full progression at a relaxed tempo and build up to the track speed.

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.
