Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun

How to play Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun by Unknown on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because it sits in a bright, catchy groove and feels steady once you lock into the pulse. At about 120 BPM, you can focus on clean changes without rushing, and the progression has a pop-friendly lift that makes it satisfying to play.

You will mix open shapes like D, A, E, G, Dm, C, Em, and F with harder barre shapes like F#, B, F#m, C#m, Bm, and G#. The main change to watch is the opening move from F# to B, then into F#m and D, since that shift can expose weak fretting-hand pressure if you do not stay relaxed.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then practice each chord change in pairs until the motion feels automatic. After that, play the full sequence with a steady count, and only speed up once every change sounds clean and even.

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.
