Easy Lover

How to play Easy Lover by Miley Cyrus on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 7 you play G, A, F, Am, Em, C, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a good beginner pick because it moves at a steady pace and gives you a strong, upbeat feel right away. You can focus on clean changes and a confident groove without feeling rushed. It is a nice one for building timing and getting your hands used to a simple pop-style flow.

Most of the chart uses open shapes, so you can stay comfortable on D, E, C, Em, and G. The one shape to watch is Bm, since that is the harder barre shape and can slow you down if you reach for it too late. Pay extra attention to the opening move D - E - C - D, because that quick change sets the pace.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each change feels smooth. Then add the rest of the song in short sections, keeping your strums even and relaxed. Once your fingers know the shapes, play along at full tempo and aim for steady changes rather than perfection.

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.
