Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER

How to play Billie Eilish - WILDFLOWER by Unknown on guitar

This song is a great one to learn because the progression is simple, steady, and easy to loop once you get the feel of it. At about 120 BPM, you can focus on keeping your changes clean and relaxed, and the song has a smooth, controlled motion that works well for a beginner.

You will spend most of your time moving between barre shapes and a few easier open shapes, so the main challenge is staying comfortable with the grip changes. The opening progression, C#m - F#m - C#m - F#, is the part to watch closely because it asks you to switch between two barre shapes and keep the rhythm even.

Start by practicing each chord change slowly, especially C#m to F#m and back again, until your fingers land cleanly every time. Then loop the opening progression at a slow pace, and only speed up once the shapes feel automatic. After that, bring it closer to the song tempo and keep the motion smooth.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
