Keeps Me Alive by Moses Sumney is played in the key of Dm. Originally recorded in the sounding key of Dm, 'Keeps Me Alive' by Moses Sumney is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 5, enabling guitarists to execute friendly Am shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The Bm7 barre chord can be voiced as a partial three-string triad on upper strings to preserve momentum and prevent fingertip strain while practicing. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Cmaj7 and Bm7: 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.
