How to play How It’s Done by HUNTR/X on guitar
How It’s Done is a great beginner tune if you want a steady, upbeat song that helps you lock in clean chord changes. At about 120 BPM, it feels lively without being too fast, so you can focus on timing and getting each chord to ring clearly.
You can lean on several open shapes here, but the chart also brings in harder barre shapes like Gm, so the hand shift is worth practicing slowly. The change to watch most is the move from D to Dm and then into Gm, since that sequence asks for quick finger adjustments and a stronger grip.
Start by looping the opening progression, D - Dm - Gm - D, until the shapes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chart one change at a time, keeping your strumming even and your fretting hand relaxed. Once the switches are smooth, bring it up to full tempo.
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.
