Tate McRae - Sports car

How to play Tate McRae - Sports car by TateMcRae on guitar

This song is a good one to learn because the groove feels steady and modern, and the beginner level makes it a nice confidence builder. At about 120 BPM, you can focus on keeping the pulse even and letting the changes feel smooth rather than rushed.

You can lean on a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving cleanly between the easier grips and the harder ones. The change to watch most closely is the opening move from E into G#m, then into Dm and Fm, since that shift asks for quick hand placement and accurate muting.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, one change at a time, until your fingers land without hesitation. Then connect the full cycle, keep the rhythm steady, and only speed up when the switches feel relaxed. Once the shapes are comfortable, play along with the track and aim for consistency over force.

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.
