Blessed To Be A Witness by Ben Harper is played in the key of D. Arranged in the natural sounding key of D in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'Blessed To Be A Witness' by Ben Harper utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. Replace full barre B major and B minor with ergonomic open B7 (x21202) and Bm7 (x20202) voicings, offering significantly lighter fretting resistance for developing fingers. Moving smoothly between A and Bm demands finger discipline: lead with your ring finger toward the target fret as an anchor before locking down the remaining fingers firmly on the strings. 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.
