My Immortal (Band Version)

How to play My Immortal (Band Version) by Evanescence on guitar

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

My Immortal (Band Version) is a great song to learn if you want something emotional and steady that lets you focus on clean changes and control. It has a reflective feel, and at about 120 BPM it sits in a comfortable groove once you settle into the progression.

You can lean on the open shapes A, E, and D, but the harder part is the barre shapes C#m, F#m, Bm, and B. The main change to watch is the opening move between A and C#m, since it repeats right away and needs to sound even and smooth.

Start by looping A - C#m - A - C#m slowly until the shift feels automatic. Then add the rest of the chord shapes in small groups, keeping your fretting hand relaxed. Once the changes are reliable, bring the tempo up little by little until the song 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.
