How to play Monsters: key, chords and progression

Monsters by Saara Aalto is written in C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭) and moves through 4 chords: Cm, G#, D# and Bb.

The backbone of the song is Cm – G# – D# – Bb (i – VI – III – VII in C minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Bm, G, D, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
