How to play Madwoman by Laufey on guitar

You get a smooth, flowing progression that sounds expressive right away, so it is great for building control and confidence while keeping the mood intimate and focused.

The chart uses a mix of open shapes and harder barre shapes, so your fretting hand has to stay organized. The main thing to watch is the opening move from Cm to E and then into Am and Em - that shift asks for clean changes and good left-hand timing, especially when you move between barre shapes and open chords.

Start by looping just the opening progression slowly until the changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in small sections, keeping your chord switches relaxed and even. Once the shapes are solid, bring the tempo up in steps and aim for clean transitions before worrying about speed.

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.
