Lover

How to play Lover by Diljit Dosanjh on guitar

This song is a great one to learn if you want a smooth, catchy feel with a steady groove. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a comfortable pocket once you lock into the pulse, and the progression gives you a strong sense of movement without feeling too crowded.

You can keep everything in open shapes, so the main challenge is clean switching rather than any barre work. The change to watch most closely is the move from F to E, since that shift can expose any hesitation. Keep your fretting hand relaxed and aim for even, ringing chords.

Start by looping Am - C - F - E slowly until the changes feel automatic. Then practice in short bursts with a metronome, matching the tempo in small steps. Once the shape changes feel secure, play through the full progression a few times in a row to build flow and confidence.

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.
