Porter Block - Gi

How to play Porter Block - Gi by Unknown on guitar

This song is a good one to learn if you want a steady, friendly groove in C major. It feels upbeat and direct, and the repeating pattern makes it easy to settle into once you hear the cycle.

You can keep everything in open shapes, so the main challenge is clean changes rather than any barre work. The change to watch most closely is the move between C and Am, since it comes up right away in the opening progression and keeps returning.

Start by looping C and Am very slowly until the switch feels smooth, then add the full opening progression. After that, play along with the track at a relaxed pace and only push toward the full tempo when your changes stay even and relaxed.

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.
