Mitski - Once More to See You

How to play Mitski - Once More to See You by Mitski on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because it sits in a steady groove and lets you focus on clean changes and even timing. It feels calm and reflective, with just enough movement to keep you engaged while you learn the shape of the progression.

You can lean on the open shapes Dm, A, Em, D, and E, but the harder part is the barre shapes F#m, F#, and A#. The main change to watch is the opening move from Dm into F#m, then into F#, since that shift asks for a quick hand reset.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the barre shapes feel stable. Then add the open shapes one at a time, keeping your strums even, and only speed up once the Dm-to-F#m change feels automatic.

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.
