How to play Home by Phillip Phillips on guitar

This is a great beginner song because it stays relaxed, familiar, and easy to loop once you get the feel of it. You can focus on clean changes and steady rhythm instead of tricky shapes, which makes it rewarding to play along with right away.

All the chords are open shapes, so your left hand can stay comfortable the whole time. The main thing to watch is the move between C and F, then back to C, since that shift shows up right at the start and keeps coming back as the song cycles.

Start by practicing C - F - C - Am slowly until the changes feel smooth, then loop those shapes without stopping. Once that feels solid, keep the same order and bring it up to tempo little by little until you can stay with the song.

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.
