Good Times by Finger Eleven

How to play Good Times by Finger Eleven by RockofVengeance on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play A, B, G, D, C, Am and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Good Times is a solid intermediate song to learn because it moves with a steady, driving feel and gives you a good workout without being overwhelming. At about 120 BPM, it should feel energetic and tight once you lock into the groove.

You can lean on the open C and F shapes, but most of the chart uses barre shapes like A#, G#, D#, C#, A#m, and B, so your fretting hand will need to stay relaxed and accurate. The main change to watch is the opening A# - C - A# - C move, since it sets the pattern and can expose any hesitation between shapes.

Start by looping that opening progression slowly until the switch feels clean, then add the rest of the barre chords one at a time. Once your changes are smooth, bring the tempo up in small steps until you can keep the rhythm steady all the way through.

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.
