How to play Wave: key, chords and progression

To play Wave by BLANKS, think in E minor (one sharp: F♯). It takes 4 chords: Em, D, G and C.

Listen for Em – D – G – C (i – VII – III – VI in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
