Boston

How to play Boston by STELLA LEFTY on guitar

Boston is a great beginner song to learn because the progression feels familiar and steady, and it gives you a clean, upbeat groove to lock into. At about 120 BPM, it should feel lively but still very manageable once you settle into the pulse.

You only need open shapes here, so the left hand stays friendly and relaxed. The main change to watch is the move from G to Dm, then from Dm to F, since that shift can break the flow if you rush it.

Start by looping C - G - Dm - F slowly, making each change clean before worrying about speed. Then practice the same cycle with a steady count, and only bring it up to tempo when your fingers land on the shapes without hesitation.

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.
