Snowbound by Donald Fagen is played in the key of Eb. Originally recorded in the sounding key of Eb, 'Snowbound' by Donald Fagen is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 5, enabling guitarists to execute friendly A# shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. To prevent hand fatigue on the challenging F barre chord, beginners can comfortably substitute an open Fmaj7 (xx3210) or small four-string F (xx3211) without sacrificing harmonic richness or vocal support. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Cm7 and Bbmaj7/C: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 66 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 92 BPM.
