Until I Found You

How to play Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it has a steady feel and a memorable progression that you can lock into quickly. You get a smooth, singable groove that feels rewarding even at a simple level, and the opening A# - Dm - F - A# pattern gives you an easy hook to build confidence with.

The main challenge is the mix of open shapes and barre shapes. Dm and F are easier to hold, while A#, D#, Cm, and D#m will ask more from your fretting hand. Watch the move between the open shapes and the barre shapes so your changes stay clean and even.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each change feels natural. Then add the harder barre shapes one at a time, keeping your hand relaxed and your timing steady. Once the switches are smooth, play through the full song at a comfortable pace and only speed up when the chord changes feel automatic.

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.
