How to play Mad: key, chords and progression

These are Mad chords by YUNGBLUD on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Mad by YUNGBLUD is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 4 chords: Am, G, Em and F.

Most of the song cycles through Am – G – Em – F (i – VII – v – VI in A minor). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
