Meet Me in the Woods

How to play Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron on guitar

Meet Me in the Woods is a great beginner play-along because the groove is steady and the harmony sits in a comfortable D major sound. It feels relaxed but a little driving, so you can focus on clean changes and keeping the pulse steady.

Most of the song uses open shapes like D, A, Dm, E, and Em, with F#m as the harder barre shape. The main thing to watch is the move between D, F#m, A, and back to F#m in the opening progression, since that shift to F#m can slow you down at first.

Start by looping the opening progression very slowly and getting each shape clean. Then practice the hardest change on its own, add the full sequence, and only after that bring it up toward the song tempo. Once your hands know the moves, play along from start to finish and keep the rhythm even.

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.
