How to play Doechii - DENIAL IS A RIVER by Unknown on guitar

This song is a strong beginner pick because it sits in a steady groove and gives you a clear, repeatable loop to lock into. At about 120 BPM, it feels energetic without being rushed, so you can focus on clean changes and timing while the song keeps moving.

You will use a mix of open shapes and harder barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving smoothly between the easier grips and the more demanding ones. Watch the opening A# - Dm - B - G# change, since that first shift sets the pace and can expose any hesitation.

Start by learning each shape on its own, then practice the opening progression slowly until the switches feel even. After that, loop the full sequence with a steady count, and only speed up once the changes stay clean.

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.
