I Was Made For Lovin' You

How to play I Was Made For Lovin' You by Kiss on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play A, G#, D, G, Am, C and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great one to learn because it has a tight, driving feel and a memorable riff that keeps you locked in from the start. At about 120 BPM, it feels energetic without being rushed, so you can focus on clean changes and steady timing.

You can lean on the open shapes E, A, and Em, but the harder move comes from D# and the other barre shapes. The change to watch most closely is the opening E - D# - E - A, since it asks you to switch quickly while keeping the rhythm even.

Start by looping that opening progression slowly until the shapes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chord changes in short sections, and only speed up once your shifts stay clean. When you can move between the open shapes and barre shapes without hesitation, 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.
