How to play Lax: key, chords and progression

Lax by Vulfpeck is centred on C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 25 chords: Dm7, G7, C, A7, G/B, G7/D, Am, G, F#7b5, Fmaj7, Em7 and D7 and 13 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Fmaj7 – Dm7 – G7 – Em7 (IVmaj7 – ii7 – V7 – iii7 in C major). In solfa, that is fah – reh – soh – mi. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F#7b5, F, F#m7b5, Fm7 and F#dim are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
