WILDFLOWER

How to play WILDFLOWER by Billie Eilish on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 4 you play A#, Am, Dm, C, A, F, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a strong pick if you want a moody, modern groove that feels steady and expressive at about 120 BPM. You get a lot of repetition, so it is satisfying to lock in and play with control rather than speed.

The chart mixes open shapes and barre shapes, so the feel changes from easy movement to a firmer left-hand grip. D, E, and A are the open shapes, while C#m, F#m, and C# will take more hand strength. Watch the move from D into C#m and F#m - that is the change that can break the flow if you rush it.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then add the rest of the song one change at a time. Once your fingers know the switches, play along with the track and keep the pulse even. When that feels solid, bring the tempo up gradually until it sits comfortably at full speed.

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.
