Your Idol

How to play Your Idol by Saja Boys on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play A, E, Am, D, G, Dm and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a strong pick if you want a moody, driving minor-key feel that still stays easy to lock into at about 120 BPM. You get a clean, repetitive groove that sounds bold and dramatic, so it is satisfying to play once the changes start feeling automatic.

Most of the song sits on open shapes, with E, Em, A, D, Am, G, C, and F all available, but you will also need the harder barre shapes B, F#m, and Bm. The change to watch first is the opening move from E to B to Em to A, since it asks you to switch between open and barre grips quickly.

Start by looping just E - B - Em - A until your hands stop hesitating, then add the rest of the open shapes one at a time. After that, practice the barre chords in isolation, then stitch them back into the progression at a slow tempo before bringing it up to 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.
