Summary: Eastside

Khalid is the main vocalist on this track by Benny Blanco, who is a songwriter and producer. Don't know him? Well, I'm sure you'd know his songs having worked with Ed Sheeran, Maroon 5, Ariana Grande and many more! Simone guides you through this easy song, perfect for beginners!

The Rhythm: The timing

The loop goes across two bars, and the arrows below show you exactly where to change each note. Remember that you don't need to worry about the down up strumming as you are simply picking each note with your fingers.


All done?
