How to play Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - Steam - 1969 by 74sodapop on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because the groove is simple, catchy, and instantly recognizable. You can get a big singalong feel without needing fast changes, and the steady pulse makes it easy to lock in and sound confident.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving cleanly between them. The opening run of Cm - C - D# - A# is the change to watch, since it shifts from a barre shape into an open shape and then back to barre chords.

Start by practicing that opening progression slowly until the switches feel smooth. Then loop the rest of the chord changes at a comfortable pace, and only after that bring it up toward the song tempo. Keep the rhythm even, and let the chords ring clearly before trying to play it full 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.
