EASY (Capo 1)
Original Tempo: 67bpm - Video Tempo: 50bpm
Easy is a song by Lionel Richie and the Commodores. Here are the chord diagrams, strumming patterns and full lyrics with timestamps as featured on my YouTube channel. This is a great song for intermediate guitar players who like songs with a lot of chords. Some of the chords have been modified slightly to make them a bit easier but this will still be a challenge (feel free to use harder versions if you know them). Remember, to match the key of the song, use a capo on fret 1!
