Glass Animals - Take A Slice (Fan Lyric Video)

How to play Glass Animals - Take A Slice (Fan Lyric Video) by GlassAnimals on guitar

This song is a fun one to learn because the groove stays steady and the chord loop gives you a strong, catchy feel right away. At about 120 BPM, it should sit in your hands without feeling rushed, so you can focus on locking in the rhythm and letting the progression flow.

You get a mix of open shapes and barre shapes here, so the first challenge is moving cleanly between them. Dm is open, while Gm, C#m, and B are barre shapes, so watch the switch from the easier first chord into the harder grip right away. Keep your fretting hand relaxed and aim for smooth changes.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly: Dm - Gm - C#m - B. Loop those four chords until the shapes feel automatic, then bring the tempo up in small steps. Once the changes are solid, play through the full song and keep your strums even and controlled.

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.
