To learn Boz Scaggs - Sierra chords, anchor your practice on these foundational sequence of chords - Em, A, D, Bm, A and Bm. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 38 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 77. Configure the capo to your vocal range and chord preference, remembering the key of D Major.
