Lies

How to play Lies by Zach Bryan & Lana Del Rey on guitar

This song is a great beginner play-along because it stays steady and lets you focus on clean changes instead of tricky shapes. At about 120 BPM, it feels relaxed but moving, so you can build confidence while keeping the groove flowing.

You only need open chords here - F, C, G, and Am - so there are no barre shapes to worry about. The main thing to watch is the repeating move from F to C, then G to Am, since that cycle keeps coming back and can trip you up if you rush the switch.

Start by looping the four chords slowly and making each change sound clear. Then practice the same cycle with a light, even pulse, and only speed up once your fingers land in the right place every time.

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.
