Babydoll

How to play Babydoll by Dominic Fike on guitar

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

This is a great song to learn if you want a moody, driving feel that still stays approachable. At about 120 BPM, it moves with steady momentum, so you can focus on clean changes and a tight groove without it feeling rushed.

You can lean on the open shapes Dm, G, C, F, and A, with Gm and A# as the harder barre shapes. The main change to watch is the opening move through Gm - Dm - A# - G, since it asks you to switch between barre chords and more open grips smoothly.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each shape lands cleanly. Then add the open chords in pairs, keep your hand relaxed, and only speed up when the barre changes feel automatic. Once the switches are solid, play along with the full tempo and aim for even, confident transitions.

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.
