How to play ZLATA OGNEVICH by Zlata Ognevich on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play Am, G, F, E, Dm, C and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is worth learning because it sits in a strong, emotional minor-key groove and feels steady at about 120 BPM. You get a clear, driving progression that sounds powerful without needing overly busy rhythm work, so it is a good intermediate piece for building confidence.

The chart mixes easy open shapes with a few harder barre shapes, so your left hand will need to switch gears smoothly. You can lean on Dm, C, A, F, D, Am, and G for the open positions, but be ready for A#, Gm, C#, and F# when the progression moves into the tougher spots. The opening Dm - C - A# - A is the change to watch most closely.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the hand movement feels automatic, then add the barre shapes one at a time. After that, practice full sections at a slower pulse before bringing it up to tempo, and finish by playing along with the track to lock in the transitions.

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.
