Doechii - Anxiety

How to play Doechii - Anxiety by Vibe Music on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it sits at a steady pace and gives you a looping groove you can lock into quickly. You get a moody, modern feel without needing a lot of flash, so it is satisfying to play even while you are still learning the changes.

Most of the chart uses open shapes, so your hands can stay relaxed on Dm, C, D, G, and F. The harder shapes are the barre chords Cm, G#, and A#, so watch for those shifts if they appear in your version. The opening move to focus on is Cm to Dm to C to Dm, since that first barre chord can slow you down.

Start by drilling the opening progression slowly until the shapes feel automatic. Then add the other open chords one at a time, keeping your changes clean before you raise the tempo. Once the transitions feel smooth, play along with the track and aim for even, steady movement rather than speed.

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.
