Eloise

How to play Eloise by Unknown on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the progression is clear, steady, and sits in a minor key that gives you a moody, focused feel. At about 120 BPM, it should feel driven but still manageable once your hands settle in.

You will move between open shapes and barre shapes, so the main challenge is keeping the sound clean while you switch. The opening move from Cm to A# to Gm and back to Cm is the change to watch out for, since it asks you to jump between harder grips without losing the pulse.

Start by practicing just the opening progression slowly, making each chord ring for a full count. Then loop the same four chords until the changes feel automatic, and only after that bring it up to tempo. Once the shapes feel stable, play along in time and keep your focus on smooth transitions rather than 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.
