Forget Me

How to play Forget Me by Lewis Capaldi on guitar

“Forget Me” is a great song to learn because it has a strong, emotional feel and a steady pace that helps you stay locked in. At about 120 BPM, you can focus on clean changes and a confident groove without it feeling rushed.

You’ll use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so it gives you a good beginner challenge. A and E are the easier open chords, while C#m and B are the first shapes that will ask more from your fretting hand. The opening move from A to E to C#m to B is the change to watch closely.

Start by looping just A and E until they feel smooth, then add C#m and B one at a time. Once the shapes are secure, practice the opening progression slowly, then bring it up to tempo in short repeats. Keep the changes relaxed and let the song’s steady feel do the work.

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.
