Not Perfect by Tim Minchin is played in the key of A. Arranged in the natural sounding key of A in standard guitar tuning without a capo, 'Not Perfect' by Tim Minchin 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. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between A7 and F#m: 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.
