On my mind

How to play On my mind by Metito on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play Am, F, C, Em, E, A and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a strong pick if you want an intermediate groove that sits in a comfortable E major sound. It feels steady and driving at about 120 BPM, so you can focus on clean changes and a smooth pulse while the progression keeps moving.

You get a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the contrast is what makes it interesting. A and E should feel easier under the fingers, while C#m, G#m, G#, C#, and B ask for more grip and accuracy. The main change to watch is the opening move from C#m to A, then into E and G#m, since that sequence sets the shape of the whole song.

Start by looping C#m - A - E - G#m slowly until the hand motion feels automatic. Then add the harder barre shapes one at a time, making sure each chord rings clearly before you speed up. Once the changes are clean, bring it up toward the full tempo and keep the rhythm even.

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.
