Anyway by Steve Perry is played in the key of Am. Originally recorded in the sounding key of Am, 'Anyway' by Steve Perry is best approached with a Capo placed on Fret 5, enabling guitarists to execute friendly Em shapes while fully preserving the studio pitch. The song relies exclusively on open cowboy chords (Fadd9, Am7/G, G), letting beginners concentrate on tone clarity, ringing string resonance, and sustain without encountering demanding barre finger fatigue. The primary progression challenge lies in switching between Fadd9 and Am7/G: keep your fingers hovering close to the fretboard rather than flying off between changes. Set your metronome at an initial practice tempo of 79 BPM in 4/4 time to master the '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' strumming groove, emphasizing steady downstrokes on beats one and three before accelerating toward the studio speed of 110 BPM.
