Growing Pains by Benedict Cork is played in the key of Bb. Originally recorded in the sounding key of Bb, 'Growing Pains' by Benedict Cork is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 3, enabling guitarists to execute friendly G shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (Bb13/F, Bb13, Ebmaj7, Cm9), letting beginners concentrate on tone clarity, ringing string resonance, and sustain without encountering demanding barre finger fatigue. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Bb13/F and Bb13: 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.
