My Body Isn't Ready

How to play My Body Isn't Ready by sombr on guitar

My Body Isn't Ready is a strong pick if you want a moody, modern song that feels tense and driving. At about 120 BPM, it has a steady push that rewards clean changes and tight timing, so it feels satisfying once you lock in the groove.

You can lean on a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, but the harder barre chords will do most of the heavy lifting. The opening move E - D# - A# - D# is the change to watch closely, since it asks you to shift quickly between an open chord and two tougher grips without losing the pulse.

Start by looping that opening progression slowly and making each change sound even. Then add the rest of the chord shapes in small groups, and only speed up once your hands can move without hesitation. Keep your focus on clean fretting first, then build the tempo until the song feels natural.

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.
