greedy

How to play greedy by Tate McRae on guitar

This song is a great pick if you want a modern pop groove that feels steady and confident. At about 120 BPM, you can lock into a simple pulse and focus on clean changes instead of speed. It is beginner friendly, but it still sounds polished when you keep your timing even.

You will mix open shapes like D, E, F, Em, and A with harder barre shapes like D#m, F#m, Bm, F#, and B. The main thing to watch is the opening move from D#m to F#m, then down to D and Bm, because that shift asks you to move between barre and open grips without losing the beat.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then practice the two barre changes on their own until they feel automatic. After that, add the open shapes and keep the count steady. Once the chord changes are smooth, bring it up to full tempo and aim for relaxed, even strums.

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.
