About Habits

At 95 BPM in C minor, "Habits" sits in a mid-tempo pocket that rewards a clean, controlled touch rather than flashy technique. The song is built around a steady, synth-driven pulse, and on guitar the most natural approach is to replicate that hypnotic, repetitive feel through careful chord voicing in the minor key. C minor gives the song its brooding weight, so spending time with minor chord shapes and their inversions will help you capture the right mood. Tove Lo wrote the track with a rawness that translates well to stripped-back guitar arrangements, where dynamics and restraint matter more than speed. The Pop Rock feel means a guitarist can lean into both clean and lightly driven tones without either feeling out of place. If the chord transitions feel slippery at first, use the Practice Toolbar to loop the tricky bars slowed down until the muscle memory is solid.

  • The song sits in C minor, so practising natural minor scale runs and minor chord voicings will help you lock into its brooding atmosphere.
  • At 95 BPM the tempo is moderate, giving you room to focus on clean chord transitions before pushing up to full speed.
  • E Standard tuning means no retuning is needed, making this an accessible piece to pick up and practise alongside other standard-tuned songs.
