How to play Justin Bieber - Beauty And A Beat ft. Nicki Minaj by Unknown on guitar

This song is a fun beginner play-along because the groove stays steady and the progression is easy to hear once you lock in the pulse. You get a bright, danceable feel at about 120 BPM, so it is a good one for building confidence while keeping your strumming relaxed and even.

Most of the chart uses open shapes like Dm, Am, G, and F, with Fm as the harder barre shape to watch. The main change to focus on is the move into Fm from the open chords, since that shift can slow you down if your hand is not ready.

Start by looping Dm - Am - G - Fm very slowly until the shape changes feel smooth. Then add the rest of the progression in short sections, keeping your strum light and steady. Once the chords land cleanly, bring the tempo up little by little until it feels natural.

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.
