Anxiety

How to play Anxiety by Doechii on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play Am, A, D, G#, G, C and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a strong pick if you want a modern, driving play-along that stays focused and repetitive enough to lock in fast. At about 120 BPM, it feels steady and tense, so you can work on clean changes while keeping the groove moving.

You’ll spend most of your time on open shapes, with Dm, D, C, and F doing a lot of the work, while C# and Gm are the harder barre shapes to watch for. The main thing to catch is the quick back-and-forth in the opening progression, Dm - D - Dm - D, since that switch needs to stay tight and even.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the change feels automatic, then add the barre shapes one at a time. After that, play full sections at a relaxed tempo, and only push toward full speed once your transitions sound clean and consistent.

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.
