Meet Me in the Woods

How to play Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play C, Em, G, D, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great beginner pick because it stays in a steady groove and keeps cycling the same small group of chords. You get a moody, driving feel without having to learn a lot of changes, so it is a good one for building confidence and keeping your hands moving smoothly.

You can lean on the open shapes D, A, and E, but F#m is the harder barre shape and will be the main challenge. The change to watch most closely is moving in and out of F#m cleanly, since the opening progression goes D - F#m - A - F#m and that shift comes up again and again.

Start by fretting each chord slowly and making sure every note rings clearly. Then loop the opening progression at an easy pace, keeping the changes between D, F#m, A, and F#m even. Once that feels natural, bring it up toward the song’s tempo and focus on staying relaxed through the F#m changes.

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.
