Forget Me

How to play Forget Me by Lewis Capaldi on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play F, C, Am, G, Dm, the shapes the player above shows.

“Forget Me” is a great beginner play-along because it has a clear, steady feel and a strong emotional pull. You can get into the groove quickly, and the progression repeats in a way that helps you lock in the song without feeling overwhelmed.

You’ll mostly move between easy open shapes and a few harder barre shapes, so the main challenge is making those switches cleanly. The biggest change to watch is the move from the open shapes into C#m and B, since that shift can slow you down if your fretting hand is not ready.

Start by looping A - E - C#m - B slowly until the shapes feel automatic. Then practice the same change at a relaxed pulse, keeping your hand close to the fretboard. Once the transitions feel smooth, bring it up toward tempo and focus on staying even through the whole cycle.

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.
