Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)

How to play Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) by Elton John on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because the groove is steady, catchy, and easy to lock into once you hear the pulse. You get a modern pop feel without needing anything flashy, so it is satisfying to play along with right away.

Most of the chart uses barre shapes, so your main job is getting clean pressure and smooth hand shifts. The open shapes, A, C, and Am, are easier, but the change to watch is the opening move from C# to A#m and then to G# - that is where you want to stay relaxed and keep your fingers close to the fretboard.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, then loop just the barre changes until they feel automatic. After that, add the open shapes where they appear, and finally play along with the full track at tempo so you can settle into the rhythm.

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.
