It's the Way You Make Me Feel by Steps is played in the key of Ab. Arranged in the natural sounding key of Ab in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'It's the Way You Make Me Feel' by Steps utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. Utilize an open C#m7 shape (x46600) as a resonant acoustic substitution that completely bypasses fourth-fret barre tension and finger strain. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between G# and D#: 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.
