Hey everyone! In this lesson I'm going to teach you how to play Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus. This easy 2-chord song is great for beginner guitarists, and this is possibly one of the easiest things you could learn on guitar.

► I also have another free resource. It's my 7-Day Beginner Challenge, designed to get you to the point where you can play along with songs just like this! - https://goodguitarist.com/beginner-challenge/

The lesson begins with two chord shapes E and A. I also show you the Asus2 chord, which is a simpler version of A. Switching between these two chords is an absolute breeze and one of the first things I show my 1-on-1 students.

Next we strum through the chord shapes, counting along to make sure we're strumming each one the right number of times.

And after that, we take a look at the strumming pattern, which is very simple and with a little bit of counting you should have no problem getting it.

Finally we put that all together and play through the tune!

This is a very simple one, but it'll help you learn to keep track of where you are in the music since it isn't just "play this chord once, then the other one ones" - you actually need to count and build up your musical skills to get through it.

Best of luck!
