About This Song
Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus (1992) is one of the best two-chord songs for absolute beginners. Using only C and G in C Major — both open chords — you can have this song performance-ready in a single practice session. The strumming pattern D DU UDU is repeated throughout; focus on making your chord changes clean before speeding up to the original 120 BPM. No capo is needed, and the open chord shapes are the same C and G you'll use in dozens of other beginner songs. This is one of the first songs our guitar teachers in Mumbai assign to new students at JBX Music.
