Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for your right hand's ability to move between closely related chord shapes — you'll shift between C, C6, and Cmaj7, which often means just lifting or adding one finger while the rest of the hand stays anchored.

Pay special attention to the G to Gsus4 to G7 transitions; practice those three shapes in isolation until your fingers know the difference by feel, not just by sight.

Your left hand keeps an octave bass pattern throughout, which sounds simple but at 120 BPM it demands a relaxed wrist — if you're tensing up, slow it to 90 and build back gradually.

I'd suggest learning the verse groove hands-separate first, then combine before tackling the chorus, where the energy picks up and the chord changes come faster.

The trickiest stumbling point is usually the syncopated rhythmic push right before each chorus — count it out loud, clap it, then play it.

This is honestly one of the best pieces for training your hand to navigate extended chords like maj7 and sus4 without panic, and that skill will follow you into dozens of other pop songs.
