Training Season

How to play Training Season by Dua Lipa on guitar

Training Season is a great beginner song to learn because it moves at a steady pace and gives you a clear, repeating groove to lock into. It feels upbeat and controlled, so you can focus on clean changes and timing without getting overwhelmed.

You will use a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is switching between the easier grips and the harder ones smoothly. The opening move is the one to watch: Fm - F - Fm - F, since that back-and-forth change sets the feel for the rest of the song.

Start by practicing Fm and F alone until the shift feels natural, then add the other open shapes one at a time. After that, connect the full progression slowly, keeping your changes even, and only speed up once each chord rings clearly.

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.
