Winning Speech

How to play Winning Speech by Karan Aujla, MXRCI on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play G, F, E, Am, B, A and more, the shapes the player above shows.

Winning Speech has a strong, steady feel that makes it a good intermediate song to lock in your timing and chord changes. At about 120 BPM, it should feel driving but manageable once you settle into the groove. You get a clear progression that sounds satisfying and keeps your hands moving without getting too busy.

You can lean on the open shapes A, G, Em, and E, but the harder part is the barre shapes F#, Bm, C#, B, and F#m. The main change to watch is the opening move from A to G to F# to Bm, since that shift into F# and then Bm is where your hand position has to stay clean and quick.

Start by looping A - G - F# - Bm slowly until the changes feel automatic, then add the rest of the song in the same calm tempo. Once your fingers know the barre shapes, bring it up to full speed and focus on keeping every change even 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.
