How to play How You Remind Me by Nickelback on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play A, D, G, C, Am, F, the shapes the player above shows.

This is a strong beginner rock tune to learn because the groove is steady and the progression feels familiar fast. You get a driving, upbeat feel that helps you lock in timing and build confidence while still sounding like a real song.

You can start with the easier open shapes C and F, then move into the barre shapes A#, D#, Cm, and G#. The main thing to watch is the jump from the open chords into the barre shapes, especially when the progression turns from C - F into A# - D#.

First, practice the opening progression slowly and cleanly until each change feels automatic. Then loop the barre shapes on their own, and finally put the whole song together at a comfortable tempo before pushing it up to 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.
