Head & Heart (feat. MNEK)

How to play Head & Heart (feat. MNEK) by Joel Corry on guitar

Head & Heart is a great beginner pick because the groove is upbeat, catchy, and easy to lock into once you hear the pulse. At about 120 BPM, it feels bright and danceable, so you can focus on keeping your timing steady and letting the rhythm carry the song.

The chart uses barre shapes throughout, so the main challenge is clean fretting and quick changes between G#, A#, Fm, and G#m. The change to watch most closely is the opening move through G# - A# - Fm - G#m, since that sets the pattern for the rest of the song.

Start by learning each shape one at a time, then loop the opening progression slowly until the switches feel automatic. After that, bring it up to tempo in small steps, keeping your strums even and relaxed. Once the chord changes are smooth, the full song should come together quickly.

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.
