The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie by Colter Wall is played in the key of B. Arranged in the natural sounding key of B in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'The Devil Wears a Suit and Tie' by Colter Wall utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. For the Bb barre chord, guitarists can adopt a compact Bbmaj7 shape or apply a capo to convert shapes into familiar cowboy chord fingerings that feel natural. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between E and Bb: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - - ↓ - ✕ ↓ - ✕ ↓ - ✕' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
