Miley Cyrus - Easy Lover

How to play Miley Cyrus - Easy Lover by MileyCyrus on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the groove sits at a steady 120 BPM and the progression feels direct and catchy. You get a strong, driving minor-key feel, so it is easy to lock into the pulse and hear the song come together quickly.

The chart mixes open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is moving cleanly between Em, D, G, A, and C, then reaching for the harder C#m and Bm shapes. The change to watch most closely is the opening move from Em to C#m, since that shift sets the pace for the rest of the progression.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, one change at a time, until your fingers land cleanly. Then loop the full chord sequence at a comfortable tempo, and only after that bring it up toward the song speed while keeping every change even.

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.
