How to play "Look What You Made Me Do" on guitar
- Chord Progression: The song primarily revolves around the chords Am, Dm, F,
and E. The progression has a dark, moody vibe fitting the song's theme.
- Intro & Verses: Start with the intro and verse progression Am, F, E,
repeating twice for the intro and continuing with a similar pattern in the
verses. Strum with a steady, punchy rhythm to match the song's edgy tone.
- Strumming Pattern: For the verses, use a more percussive down-strum to keep
the tension high. This pattern helps drive the narrative and keeps the
arrangement dynamic.
- Pre-Chorus & Chorus: The pre-chorus builds up with Am, Dm, and E. Increase
your strumming intensity here to build up to the chorus. The chorus should
be powerful and defiant, using strong downstrokes to emphasize the beat.
- Bridge: The bridge shifts to a more ominous tone with the chords Am, F, E.
Strum lightly here to create a contrast with the more aggressive chorus. This
part should feel like a sinister whisper compared to the shouting chorus.
- Common Mistakes:
- Not maintaining a consistent strumming pattern, which can weaken the song's
impact.
- Rushing the tempo, especially in the chorus. Keep it steady and forceful.
- Overstrumming in the bridge, which can overpower the vocals.
General Tips:
- Practice the chord changes slowly at first to ensure clarity and precision,
then increase your speed as you become more comfortable.
- Pay attention to the dynamics of your playing; the song demands a range of
emotions, from whispering verses to a roaring chorus.
- Listen to the original track to get a feel for the tempo and dynamics.
