Your chords

Keep your fingers tight in that little triangle and let all three strings ring clear.

Stretch your pinky up for the high note — it gives G that full, bright sound.

Bunch three fingers on the second fret; curl them so the high E still rings out.

Your 5-minute plan

Tick each step as you finish it. No screens needed, just you and the guitar.

1Tune up & learn the chords5 min

First, tune up. Then build these shapes: D, G, A. Clean and ringing, no switching yet.

Press your fingertips just behind the fret wire.

Strum slowly and check every string rings.

Form each shape, lift off, reform it. A few reps each.

2Lock the switches5 min

Connect the shapes before you strum: D to G, then G to A. Back and forth, slow and smooth. This is the whole song mechanically.

Switch slow enough that there's no buzz or pause.

Find the finger that barely moves between shapes and keep it anchored.

Count out loud: hold for four, switch on the next one.

★ Take it home

You've learned the parts. Now make them one. Play the whole thing slow, then a hair faster, until it flows without you thinking.

Big win. Twist and Shout is yours for good. Next time someone hands you a guitar, you'll know just what to play.
