White Keys

How to play White Keys by Dominic Fike on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play F, Am, D, G, Em, C and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a good one to learn if you want a steady, modern groove that sits in a comfortable mid-tempo pocket. It feels relaxed but still moves with purpose, so you can focus on clean changes and keeping the pulse even.

The chart uses a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving smoothly between the easier chords and the harder grip changes. Pay extra attention to the opening run of G - Bm - E - A, since that shift from an open shape into Bm can slow you down if you rush it.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until your hands land cleanly every time. Then add the rest of the chart in short sections, keeping the rhythm steady before you push the tempo up to full 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.
