How to play seasons by wave to earth on guitar

“Seasons” is a great beginner song to learn because it moves at a steady pace and lets you focus on clean chord changes without feeling rushed. At about 120 BPM, it has a calm, flowing feel that is satisfying once the shapes start to lock in.

You can lean on mostly open chords here, with a few harder barre shapes if you want to follow the full chart. The main change to watch is the opening move from D to Dm to E and back to D, since that shift can feel awkward at first. Keep your fingers close to the strings and aim for smooth, small motions.

Start by looping just D - Dm - E - D until the changes feel natural. Then add the rest of the progression in short sections, slowing down any spot that catches. Once you can switch cleanly, bring it up to full tempo 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.
