How to play Green Green Grass by George Ezra on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it stays upbeat and repetitive, so you can lock into the groove quickly. It feels bright and bouncy at about 120 BPM, and once you settle into the pattern, it is easy to keep the energy moving.

You will mostly be working with barre shapes, with D as the main open shape to give your hand a break. The opening move Fm - G# - C# - G# is the change to watch closely, since it asks you to shift cleanly between similar shapes without losing time.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly and cleanly, then add the rest of the chord changes one at a time. Once your fingers know the shapes, play along with the track and focus on smooth transitions rather than speed, then bring the tempo up until it feels natural.

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.
