How to play Take Control: key, chords and progression
Take Control by Isaac Choi sits in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), and you need 4 chords to play it: A, E, F#m and D.
Listen for A – E – F#m – D (I – V – vi – IV in A major), the “four-chord” progression behind countless pop, rock and worship songs: the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, D, Em, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
