Raindance

How to play Raindance by Dave & Tems on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play C, F, Dm, D, Am, Em and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Raindance is a smooth, moody track that feels great once you lock into the groove. At about 120 BPM, it has enough motion to stay engaging without rushing, so you can focus on clean changes and a steady pulse.

You will mostly be handling barre shapes, with A as the only open chord in the set. The opening move, C# - F# - D#m - D#, is the main change to watch, since it asks you to shift quickly between closely related shapes while keeping the rhythm even.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the hand motion feels automatic. Then add the rest of the chord flow in small chunks, keeping the beat steady before you try full speed. Once the changes feel smooth, play through the whole song with relaxed, even timing.

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.
