greedy

How to play greedy by Tate McRae on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play Em, A, Am, C, D, G, the shapes the player above shows.

“greedy” is a strong pick if you want a modern pop groove that feels tight and energetic at about 120 BPM. It is beginner-friendly, but it still sounds polished when you keep the changes clean and steady.

You’ll spend time moving between open shapes and barre shapes, so the left hand has to stay relaxed. The opening progression, F#m - B - Bm - B, is the main thing to watch, because it asks you to switch quickly between the harder grip and the easier ones without losing the pulse.

Start by looping that opening progression slowly until the shapes feel automatic. Then add the rest of the chords one at a time, keeping your strums even, and only speed up once the changes feel 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.
