How to play Rest: key, chords and progression
These are Rest chords by Foo Fighters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Rest by Foo Fighters sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: D, F#m, G, E, F# and Bm.
Most of the song cycles through D – F#m – Bm – G (I – iii – vi – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes C, Em, F, D, E, Am (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
