How to play Best Part: key, chords and progression
To play Best Part by Daniel Caesar, think in A minor (no sharps or flats). It takes 4 chords: Dmaj7, Am7, G and Bb.
Most of the song cycles through Dmaj7 – Am7 – G – Bb (IVmaj7 – i7 – VII – ♭II in A minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Good to know: on guitar, Bb needs a barre or movable shape. Take the change into it slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
