How to play Slow It Down: key, chords and progression

Slow It Down by High Highs sits in B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 10 chords to play it: Bm, G, F#m, Em, D, A, F#m/C#, Gmaj7, Bmadd4 and A/F#.

The backbone of the song is A – Gmaj7 – A – Bmadd4 (VII – VImaj7 – VII – i in B minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm, F#m, F#m/C# and Bmadd4 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
