Not My Friend by Norah Jones is played in the key of F#. Originally recorded in the sounding key of F#, 'Not My Friend' by Norah Jones is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 4, enabling guitarists to execute friendly D shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (F#maj7, Bmaj7), 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 F#maj7 and Bmaj7: 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.
