Let's start jamming Phoenix - Countdown chords, practice the chord sequence B, C#m, E, C#m, B and E. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 74 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 148. To match your vocal range and chord inclination, adjust the capo in line with the key: B Major.
