How to play Fast Times: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Fast Times by Sabrina Carpenter on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Fast Times by Sabrina Carpenter is built around B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 4 chords in all: Dm, Bm, A and G.

The backbone of the song is Bm – A – G – A (i – VII – VI – VII in B minor), a minor “Aeolian” loop common in rock and Afrobeats. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
