Somedays

How to play Somedays by Sonny Fodera, Jazzy, D.O.D on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play Dm, Am, G, F, C, Em, the shapes the player above shows.

Somedays is a smooth, beginner-friendly song that sits in a relaxed groove and feels easy to settle into. At about 120 BPM, you can focus on keeping the pulse steady and letting the progression flow without rushing, which makes it a good one for building confidence.

Most of the song uses open shapes like Am, Em, D, C, and G, so the left hand stays fairly comfortable. The main shape to watch is Bm, since that is the barre chord in the chart and will need extra pressure and clean finger placement. The opening move from Am to Em to D and back to Em is a good spot to check your changes.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each chord rings clearly. Then add the rest of the open shapes one at a time, keeping your strums even and your transitions relaxed. Once that feels solid, bring it up to tempo and spend extra time on Bm so it stops interrupting the flow.

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.
