About Feel

At 92 BPM in D minor, "Feel" sits in a mid-tempo groove that rewards a clean, controlled right hand more than flashy technique. The chord work is the core of the song: open and barre shapes in D minor give the progression its brooding, emotional weight, and keeping those transitions smooth is the real challenge for intermediate players. The strumming pattern has a slight behind-the-beat lilt that can feel deceptively loose, so locking it in against the original recording takes patience. Use the Practice Toolbar to loop the verse progression slowed down until the rhythm feels natural before bringing it back up to tempo. Robbie Williams wrote this as a genuinely guitar-friendly piece of Pop Rock, and the acoustic tone in E Standard means you can play it comfortably on any steel-string guitar without a capo or retuning. Getting the dynamics right, playing softly on the verses and building through the chorus, is what makes this arrangement come alive.

  • The song sits in D minor at 92 BPM in E Standard tuning, making it accessible on any standard-tuned acoustic or electric guitar without modification.
  • The main challenge is a behind-the-beat strumming feel on the verse chords, which requires careful listening to the original to nail the rhythmic nuance.
  • Practising the verse-to-chorus dynamic shift, playing lighter on the verses and fuller on the chorus, is key to a convincing performance of this arrangement.
