How to play Spotlight: key, chords and progression

Spotlight by LiL PEEP is built around E minor (one sharp: F♯), with 5 chords in all: Em, C, G, D and Bm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Em – C – G – D (i – VI – III – VII in E minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
