How to play Butterflies. by Brent Faiyaz
Start with the chords. Butterflies. uses 10 different chords; C is held longest — about 16% of the song — so it is the one to make comfortable first. 4 of them need a barre (F, Fm, Bm, F#m). If barres are new to you, read the barre guide.
Then the changes. The change that repeats most is C → Bm (9 times), followed by Bm → F#m (9 times). Drill that pair on its own before the song: the chords change roughly every 3.0 seconds (20 changes per minute), so each change needs to be ready in about a beat. See faster chord changes.
Strumming. At 124 BPM this is a fast song; a good starting pattern is D U D U D U D U (eighths, or the classic pop pattern in half time). More in strumming patterns.

Easier substitutes
- Instead of F, try Fmaj7: drop the barre and leave the high E string open — it rings almost the same in most songs.
- Instead of Bm, try Bm7: no barre: index finger on the 2nd fret of the A string, middle finger on the 2nd fret of the D string, the rest open.
- Instead of F#m, try F#m7: keeps the same bass note with fewer fingers.
Swap one chord at a time and play along; if it still sounds right with the band, keep it.
