Chappell Roan - Red Wine Supernova (Magician's Cut)

How to play Chappell Roan - Red Wine Supernova (Magician's Cut) by ChappellRoan on guitar

This song is a fun beginner pick because the groove sits right around a steady pop pulse, so you can focus on keeping the changes clean and confident. It feels bright and driving, with enough motion to stay interesting without getting too complicated.

You will lean on a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is getting your hand ready for the harder grips without losing the beat. The opening progression, F# - Cm - A - G#m, is the change to watch closely, since it moves quickly between barre shapes and a more open A.

Start by practicing the chord shapes one at a time, then loop the opening progression slowly until the switches feel automatic. After that, add a steady down-up strum at a comfortable pace, and only then bring it up toward the song's 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.
