How to play BTS (방탄소년단) ‘SWIM’ Official MV by Unknown on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because it moves at a steady pace and gives you a clean, repeating groove to lock into. It feels smooth and upbeat, so you can focus on staying relaxed and keeping your changes even.

You’ll use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is switching between the easier grips and the tougher ones without rushing. The change to watch most closely is the opening move from Fm to Cm to C to C#m, since it asks you to shift your hand position quickly and stay accurate.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one chord at a time, until the shapes feel automatic. Then connect the changes in small loops, and only after that bring it up to tempo. Once your hands know the sequence, play through the full chart with a steady, even feel.

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.
