Dominic Fike - Babydoll

How to play Dominic Fike - Babydoll by Vibe Music on guitar

Babydoll is a great beginner play-along because the groove sits in a steady pocket and the progression is easy to remember. You get a moody, relaxed feel that still moves forward, so it is fun to lock in with and build confidence on.

Most of the song uses open shapes, with A, Dm, and G available right away. The main thing to watch is the move to Gm, which is a barre shape and will feel tighter under your fretting hand. In the opening progression, that switch is the one to focus on.

Start by looping A - Dm - A - Gm slowly until the change feels clean. Then bring it up to tempo in small steps, keeping your strums even and your chord changes relaxed. Once that feels solid, play through the full song and aim for smooth transitions instead of 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.
