Head & Heart

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

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

This is a great beginner pick if you want a bright, upbeat pop groove that feels steady and rewarding to lock into. At about 120 BPM, you can keep it light and driving while the harmony stays catchy and easy to recognize.

The shapes here are all barre chords, so the main challenge is clean fretting and quick switches rather than open-position comfort. Watch the move in the opening progression from G# to A# and back again, then into D# - that change is the one to make smooth and even.

Start by holding each chord for a full count, then loop G# - A# - G# - D# slowly until your fingers land cleanly. Once that feels solid, bring it up to tempo in small steps and keep the strums relaxed so the progression stays tight.

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.
