Saturn

How to play Saturn by SZA on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play G, C, Dm, Em, Am, F, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great beginner pick because the harmony is smooth and the pace sits at a comfortable 120 BPM. You get a calm, floating feel that lets you focus on clean changes and steady timing without having to rush.

The chart uses barre shapes throughout, so your main job is getting comfortable with full-fret pressure and tidy muting. The opening move is G# to C# to D#m and back to G#, so watch that shift from C# into D#m and make sure each chord rings clearly before moving on.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, one change at a time. Then connect the full four-chord cycle, keeping your hand relaxed and your strums even. Once that feels stable, raise the tempo little by little until you can play it smoothly at 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.
