LUNCH

How to play LUNCH by Billie Eilish on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 2 you play D, Am, Dm, G, F, A and more, the shapes the player above shows.

LUNCH is a great pick if you want something modern, tight, and a little moody under your fingers. At about 120 BPM, it feels steady and driving, so you can focus on locking into the groove and keeping the changes clean.

You get a mix of open shapes and barre shapes, so the song asks for both comfort and control. The open chords like E, Em, A, G, Am, and D should sit well, while Bm and F#m will take more hand strength. The change to watch out for is the opening move from E to Bm, then back through Em to Bm, since that shift can expose any hesitation.

Start by looping just the opening progression slowly until each shape lands cleanly. Then add the other chords in small groups, keeping your hand relaxed as you move between open and barre shapes. Once the changes feel automatic, bring the tempo up little by little until you can play through it without breaking the pulse.

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.
