How to play Homewrecker by sombr on guitar

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

“Homewrecker” is a strong song to learn if you want a steady, driving feel with a clean pop-rock edge. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a comfortable groove that rewards tight timing and smooth changes, so it feels energetic without being overly fast.

Most of the chart uses barre shapes, with only F shown as an open shape, so your fretting hand needs to stay relaxed and economical. The main change to watch is the opening move from C# to F# and back again, then into D#m, since that shift sets the pattern and can expose any tension or late changes.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly and looping it until the shapes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in short sections, keeping your strums even and your chord changes clean. Once that feels solid, bring it up to full tempo and focus on staying locked to the beat.

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.
