seasons

How to play seasons by wave to earth on guitar

This song is worth learning because it has a smooth, reflective feel that sits nicely in D major, and the steady 120 BPM pace gives you a clear groove to lock into. You get a satisfying mix of calm motion and emotional lift, so it feels rewarding once the changes start to flow.

Most of the chart uses open shapes like D, G, Dm, Em, Am, E, C, and A, but the harder barre shapes Gm, F#m, and Fm will demand extra hand strength and clean fretting. Watch the move from D to G and then into Dm, since that shift can feel less natural than the others and needs a clean reset.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until your hands know the shape order, then add the rest of the open chords in small groups. After that, isolate the barre shapes and practice switching into them from nearby open chords, then bring everything back up to tempo once the changes feel even.

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.
