Transcript

You know this song? Who knows - Daniel Caesar play Here's how I can play it on guitar. We're gonna be in standard tuning with the capo on the first fret. We're only gonna have 5 chords. We have Cmaj7, followed by a Dmaj7, Fmaj7, and back to Cmaj7. Every second time you play this chord progression, your third chord is gonna be an F minor 7 instead of an F major 7. And back to Cmaj7. The strumming pattern is gonna be down, down, up, up, down, down, up, up, down, up, up, down, up, up, down, up. By the way, I learned this song on the Strum app. I connected my Spotify account directly to it and it showed me the chords, lyrics, and strumming patterns.
