Almost Easy — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
31 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of E, 176 BPM.
This arrangement will push your coordination hard — at 176 BPM in the key of E, the octave bass pattern in your left hand needs to feel automatic before you layer anything on top.
Start hands-separate and at around 60% tempo; get those left-hand octave jumps locked in so your hand finds each root (E, B, C♯, A and the rest) without looking down.
Your right hand deals with thirteen chord shapes including power chords and a sneaky C diminished, so watch the transitions between C♯ minor and C diminished especially — they sit close together but the voicing shift trips people up every time.
Syncopation is constant in this style, so count aloud or tap your foot religiously; rushing even slightly at this tempo snowballs fast.
Once each hand is confident, combine them in four-bar loops, prioritizing the chorus first since it repeats most.
Keep pedal use minimal — just light touches on sustained passages so the rock energy stays tight, not muddy.
This is the piece that will solidify your power-chord vocabulary and teach your left hand to own an octave bass line at speed.
