Sabrina Carpenter - Tears

How to play Sabrina Carpenter - Tears by TrendingTracks on guitar

This is a good beginner song to learn because the progression feels steady and catchy, so you can focus on clean changes instead of speed. At about 120 BPM, it has a light, driving feel that rewards relaxed strumming and even timing.

You will mostly use open shapes, with a few harder barre shapes mixed in. The main thing to watch is the move from A to Dm to G and back to Dm, since that cycle can expose any hesitation in your fretting hand. Keep your fingers close to the strings and aim for smooth transitions.

Start by looping A - Dm - G - Dm slowly until each change feels automatic. Then add a steady strum at half speed, and only after that bring it up to full tempo. If one change keeps tripping you up, isolate just those two chords and repeat them until the shift feels easy.

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.
