Be Her

How to play Be Her by Ella Langley on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play G, Am, C, the shapes the player above shows.

Be Her is a great beginner tune because it stays steady and repeats the same small set of changes, so you can focus on clean timing and smooth movement. At about 120 BPM, it has a confident, forward feel that is easy to lock into once you settle in.

You will use one open shape, E, and two harder barre shapes, B and C#m. The main thing to watch is the quick back-and-forth between B and C#m in the opening progression, since that change comes up again and again throughout the song.

Start by practicing B to C#m slowly until the switch feels automatic, then add the open E shape if you need a breather between barre chords. Once the shapes feel comfortable, loop the progression with a steady count and gradually bring it up to tempo.

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.
