Easy On Me

How to play Easy On Me by Adele on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 5 you play F, C, Am, Em, G, Dm, the shapes the player above shows.

Easy On Me is a great song to learn because it moves at a steady pace and gives you a chance to focus on clean changes and smooth timing. You’ll feel the song’s gentle, reflective mood right away, and it rewards a light touch more than force.

Most of the chart uses open shapes like F, Dm, Am, and C, with A# and Gm as the harder barre shapes. The main thing to watch is the opening move from A# to F, since that change can feel abrupt if your hand is not ready.

Start by looping A# - F - Dm - Am slowly until the shapes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chord changes one at a time, keeping your strum even and relaxed. Once the switches are clean, bring it up toward tempo and keep the motion steady.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
