The Weeknd, Playboi Carti - Timeless

How to play The Weeknd, Playboi Carti - Timeless by Unknown on guitar

This song is a strong beginner pick because the groove sits at a steady pace and the progression feels repetitive in a good way. You get to lock into a simple pattern and focus on clean changes, so it feels relaxed once your hands settle in.

The chart mixes open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving between the easier grips and the harder ones without breaking the rhythm. The opening run Bm - G - F - G is the change to watch closely, especially the jump from Bm into the open shape on G and then into F.

Start by looping Bm - G - F - G very slowly until each switch feels automatic. Then play the full cycle with small, even strums and only increase speed when the changes stay clean. If needed, isolate the barre shapes first, then add the open shapes back in.

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.
