Hurts So Good

How to play Hurts So Good by Ag3nte360 on guitar

This song is a great beginner play-along because it sits in a strong, driving groove and feels satisfying even with simple changes. At about 120 BPM, you get a steady push that helps you lock in timing while keeping the part energetic and easy to follow.

You can lean on the open shapes A, E, Em, and D, but the harder barre shapes B, F#, and C#m will ask for cleaner finger pressure and smoother hand shifts. The change to watch most closely is the move from A to B, then back to A, before landing on E.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each change feels automatic. Then practice the barre shapes one at a time, returning to the open chords between them. When the moves feel relaxed, bring the tempo up in small steps until you can stay steady all the way through.

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.
