To learn Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - (Remastered 2019) Secret chords, your practice should emphasize these chord progressions: C#m, D, A, E, A and D. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 57 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 115. Fine-tune the capo based on your vocal range, ensuring it complements the key of A# Major.
