How to play Cage The Elephant - Come A Little Closer by SWAT REDD on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it sits in a steady groove and feels strong and direct once you lock in the pulse. At about 120 BPM, you can focus on clean changes and keeping the rhythm even, which makes it satisfying to play along with.

The chart mixes one open shape, A, with several barre shapes, so your fretting hand will need to move between easy and harder grips. The main thing to watch is the opening move from Cm to A and then into C#m - F#, since that shift can slow you down if you rush the hand change.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one change at a time, until each shape lands cleanly. Then loop Cm - A - C#m - F# with a steady count, and only speed up when the changes feel automatic. Once that is solid, play along with the full tempo and keep the motion relaxed.

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.
