How to play back to friends by sombr on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play C, F, Dm, A, D, Am and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a strong pick if you want a modern, moody groove that still feels approachable at about 120 BPM. It sits in a steady pocket, so once you lock in the movement, it feels smooth and satisfying to play.

You’ll lean on barre shapes for most of the chart, with F as the main open shape to give your hand a break. The opening move, C# - F# - D#m - A#, is the change to watch closely, since it sets the shape of the whole progression and needs clean shifts.

Start by drilling that opening progression slowly until each change feels automatic. Then add the rest of the chart in short loops, keeping your fretting hand relaxed, and only push the tempo once the barre changes stay clean and 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.
