How to play 16: key, chords and progression

16 by Highly Suspect is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 4 chords in all: Am, C, F and Dm.

The backbone of the song is Am – C – F – Dm (vi – I – IV – ii in C major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – fah – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, G, C, Am (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
