What to watch for
At least one shape here is a full barre — one finger pressing all six strings, no open strings to lean on. Fret it unplugged first; if a string buzzes, it's the barre, not the chord.
Practice at the right tempo
This song sits at 95 BPM. Start at 60% until the changes are clean — speed is a by-product of accuracy, not a goal.
