Fairly simple song in terms of the guitar playing, but layers with synth and epic
Sam Smith vocals to make it really funky!
Nile Rodgers' guitar style is really distinct, and he adds a lot to these kind of
songs that have been popular recently (e.g. Daft's 'Get Lucky')
Chords Used: Though you really only have to play the top 3 or 4 strings-ish to get a similar sound

X is mute - hard to explain but the timing should be okay once you get into the
or don't groove of the song
strum at - Basically down-up strums in the same beat during the X's
all - A#m7 is only strummed once in the pattern, at the end before it repeats
