Basic Chord progression:
dm7 - am7 - em7 - FM7

(complete tabs/chords are below)

My beginner tutorial on how to play J. Holiday’s Suffocate on Guitar. I’m relatively new to guitar and tutorials (been playing seriously for about 6 months), so please send or comment me any feedback/suggestions. Also feel free to msg with questions. Hope the tutorial helps some people learn the song. =)

*Note: I used different versions of the same chords (dm7, am7, em7, FM7) for different parts of the song. I did this to 1. Stay true to the original arrangement as much as possible 2. Illustrate that you can play the same chord in many different ways on a guitar 3. Make certain transitions easier (the bridge). For example, I have 3 different versions of the dm7 chord, one for the intro, one for the verse/chorus, and one for the bridge.
