Flowers by Miley Cyrus Acoustic Guitar - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1872324

“Flowers” is Miley Cyrus’s empowering pop anthem from her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation, built around a smooth disco-inspired groove and a message of self-reliance. “Flowers” is an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate bands looking to develop tight ensemble playing while keeping things musically accessible and engaging. The guitar parts center on clean, muted strumming patterns and subtle chord embellishments that emphasize timing and feel over complexity, helping players lock into the groove. The bass line is steady and supportive, focusing on consistent rhythm, tasteful movement, and reinforcing the song’s laid-back pulse. For singers, “Flowers” offers a great opportunity to work on controlled phrasing, breath support, and delivering a confident, conversational vocal with emotional clarity. Its instantly recognizable hook and feel-good vibe make it a crowd-pleasing staple that highlights a band’s ability to stay tight, tasteful, and in the pocket.A NOTE ABOUT DR.



TOMS CHARTS
DR. TOMS CHARTS help musicians make more music together. Inspired by the Nashville Number System and the classic Rise Up Singing, these charts emphasize song form with lyrics overlaid on top of evenly spaced chords. These musical roadmaps let you focus on what you love: vocal delivery, groove, harmonies, feel, and more! You can even experiment with different styles and meters.

In the HYBRID chart, the first chord of each line aligns with the first word or syllable on the downbeat, highlighting pickups and delayed entries. Subsequent chords may not align exactly with every word, but once the singer nails the entry, everything locks in! This format might look unfamiliar at first, but evenly spaced chords improve groove and accuracy. The harmonic rhythm guides the melody! For singers, the LYRICS ONLY chart provides all the words with rehearsal cues (intros, verses, bridges, solos).

Keep on jammin!
