Mitski - Where's My Phone?

How to play Mitski - Where's My Phone? by Mitski on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the progression is short, memorable, and sits at a steady about 120 BPM. You get a clear, driving feel that is easy to lock into once the changes start to repeat.

You can lean on the open shapes Em, G, F, D, and Dm, but the harder barre shapes Gm, Cm, A#, D#, G#, Fm, and A#m will ask for cleaner finger pressure. The main change to watch is the opening move from Gm to Em and back again, since that quick shift sets the tone for the whole chart.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then add the rest of the song one change at a time. Once your hands know the shapes, practice in time with small, even counts until the movement feels smooth and relaxed.

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.
