How to play The Teacher: key, chords and progression

These are The Teacher chords by Foo Fighters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

The Teacher by Foo Fighters is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 23 chords in all: Gmaj7/B, Bm, D, F5, E5, C, Cadd4, Bb, Ab, G, F and Am and 11 more.

Most of the song cycles through Bm – D – F5 – E5 (iii – V – ♭VII – VI in G major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Bm, F5, Cadd4, Bb and Ab are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
