CG5 - GRIMACE (Original Song)

How to play CG5 - GRIMACE (Original Song) by CG5 on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the pace is steady and the opening progression is easy to follow once you lock into the groove. It feels direct and energetic, so you can focus on clean changes without having to rush.

You will mostly move between open shapes and a couple of harder barre shapes, so the main challenge is switching smoothly to A# and C#m when they show up. The opening move from A# to Dm to G and back to Dm is the change to watch closely, since it can expose any hesitation.

Start by practicing each shape one at a time, then loop A# - Dm - G - Dm slowly until the motion feels automatic. After that, add the rest of the chart in short sections and only then bring it up to full tempo.

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.
