Antidote

How to play Antidote by Karan Aujla on guitar

Antidote is worth learning because the progression is direct and catchy, and at about 120 BPM it has a steady, driving feel that keeps you locked in. You will get a strong, modern groove once the changes start to sit under your hands, and the repeating movement gives it a satisfying push.

The chart leans on barre shapes for most of the song, with G#m and D#m doing a lot of the heavy lifting, while E is the main open shape. The change to watch out for is the back-and-forth between G#m and E in the opening progression, since that switch sets the pattern and can expose any hesitation.

Start by looping G#m - E slowly until the move feels clean, then add the rest of the progression one change at a time. Once your fingers land the barre shapes without buzzing, bring it up to tempo in short repeats and focus on staying relaxed through each shift.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
