Bryan Adams - Run To You

How to play Bryan Adams - Run To You by BryanAdams on guitar

This is a strong beginner-friendly rock song that feels driving and steady once you lock into the groove. You get a classic, energetic push that makes it fun to play along with and satisfying when the changes start landing cleanly.

You’ll use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving between the easier A, E, and D and the harder F#, B, C#m, and F#m. The opening progression F# - A - B - F# is the change to watch closely, since it sets the shape of the song and can feel jumpy at first.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly until the moves feel automatic. Then add the rest of the open shapes, then the barre shapes, and finally bring it up to tempo in short loops until you can keep the flow without stopping.

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.
