So Easy (To Fall In Love)

How to play So Easy (To Fall In Love) by Olivia Dean on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 3 you play F, C, E, G, C#, Em and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great pick if you want a smooth, catchy groove that feels polished and musical at a steady 120 BPM. It has an advanced feel, but the progression is easy to remember once your hands settle in, so you can focus on making the changes sound relaxed and confident.

You will move between open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is keeping the left hand light while still landing cleanly. Watch the jump from G# to D# to G, then back to G# - that opening loop is the one to lock in first. If the barre shapes feel slow, keep the open shapes close and economical.

Start by looping just the opening progression at a very slow tempo until the shape changes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the song in short sections, checking each transition before you speed up. Once the chords are secure, raise the tempo in small steps and aim for smooth, even changes rather than force.

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.
