How to play STAY by The Kid Laroi on guitar

This song is worth learning because it has a strong, modern feel and a repeating progression that helps you lock in a steady groove. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a comfortable beginner range, so you can focus on clean changes and keeping the rhythm even.

You will spend most of your time on barre shapes, with C and F as the easier open shapes. The main thing to watch is the opening move from G# to C# to C and back to C#, since that quick shift can trip you up if your hand is not ready.

Start by drilling the chord changes slowly, especially the first four chords in order. Then loop the progression with a simple, even strum until the shapes feel automatic. Once that is smooth, bring the tempo up little by little and keep your changes relaxed.

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.
