Which Way by Richard Hawley is played in the key of Am. Arranged in the natural sounding key of Am in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'Which Way' by Richard Hawley utilizes direct fretboard shapes to project full open-string acoustic warmth and resonance throughout every section. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (Am, Am7, Fmaj7/A, E, Fmaj7, E/A, Am/G, Am/F, Dm, Aminadd13), 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 Am and Am7: 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.
