How to play The Jackson 5 - ABC by ChloeOliver15 on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it is upbeat, familiar, and easy to keep moving once you lock into the groove. At about 120 BPM, it feels lively without being too fast, so you can focus on clean changes and a steady pulse.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving smoothly between the easier and harder grips. The opening G# - Fm - G# - E is the first change to watch closely, since it asks you to switch from barre shapes into an open E and back again without losing time.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one change at a time, until your fingers land cleanly. Then loop the full chord sequence in small sections, and only speed up once each switch feels automatic. Keep the rhythm even, and let the song’s energy build as your changes get more confident.

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.
