How to play Hold: key, chords and progression

Hold by Beckah Shae is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 7 chords in all: A, F#m, Bm, E, D, Am and A7.

Most of the song cycles through A – F#m – Bm – E (I – vi – ii – V in A major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – reh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m and Bm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
