Dasha - Austin

How to play Dasha - Austin by BagOnly on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because it moves at a steady pace and gives you a simple loop to lock into. You can focus on clean changes and a relaxed feel instead of chasing tricky rhythm details, so it is a nice one for building confidence.

The chart mixes open shapes with harder barre shapes, so your fretting hand will need to shift between both styles. The main thing to watch is the opening move from C#m into A and then Fm - that is where you may feel the biggest hand change, so keep those transitions smooth and unhurried.

Start by playing the chord order slowly and evenly until your fingers know the shapes. Then practice the opening progression in small loops, adding speed only when each change feels clean. Once that is solid, run the full song from start to finish 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.
