How to play Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (With Lyrics + HQ Sound) by TheJukeboxRock on guitar
Billie Jean is a great beginner pick because the groove is instantly recognizable and the harmony stays steady enough to lock in quickly. You get a cool, driving feel without needing a lot of flash, so it is satisfying to play even at a simple level.
Most of the shapes here are open, with A# as the main barre chord to watch. The opening move A# - E - Dm - A asks you to switch cleanly between a harder grip and easier open shapes, so the change into and out of A# is the spot to focus on.
Start by looping the opening progression slowly until the shapes feel automatic. Then practice the chord changes in pairs, especially A# to E and Dm to A, and only after that bring it up to tempo while keeping the rhythm even and relaxed.
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.
