Ahay by Of Monsters and Men is played in the key of Eb. Originally recorded in the sounding key of Eb, 'Ahay' by Of Monsters and Men is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 3, enabling guitarists to execute friendly C shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. 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 Eb and Ab: 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.
