MILLION DOLLAR BABY

How to play MILLION DOLLAR BABY by Tommy Richman on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play Dm, E, G, Gm, Em, D and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great pick if you want a modern, catchy groove that sits in a steady pocket and feels good once it locks in. At about 120 BPM, it should feel driving but not rushed, so you can focus on keeping your changes clean and confident.

You get one open shape, A, but most of the chart uses barre shapes like F#m, G#, B, Bm, G#m, F#, C#m, and C#. The main change to watch is the opening move from F#m to G# to B to Bm, since that shift asks you to move quickly while keeping the rhythm even.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly and making each chord change sound clear. Then add the rest of the chart in small sections, and only speed up once your barre shapes feel relaxed and your hands know the move from B to Bm without hesitation.

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.
