That’s So True

How to play That’s So True by Gracie Abrams on guitar

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

This song is a great beginner pick because it stays in a tight loop and feels steady at about 120 BPM. You can focus on clean changes and a smooth pulse instead of learning a lot of new material, so it is a good one for building confidence.

The chart uses barre shapes for F#, C#, G#, and A#m, so your main job is getting those grips to sound clear and even. The change to watch most closely is the opening move from F# to C# to G# back to F#, since that cycle repeats and can expose any hesitation.

Start by practicing each shape one at a time, then loop F# - C# - G# - F# slowly until the switches feel automatic. After that, add a steady count and bring it up to song speed in small steps, keeping every chord change relaxed and controlled.

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.
