Billie Eilish - THE GREATEST (BILLIE BY FINNEAS)

How to play Billie Eilish - THE GREATEST (BILLIE BY FINNEAS) by Unknown on guitar

This song is a great beginner pick because it sits in a steady groove and lets you focus on clean changes instead of speed. At about 120 BPM, it feels controlled and direct, so you can settle into the rhythm and hear the progression clearly as you play.

You can stay with open shapes for most of it, using C, Am, Em, G, and D. The main thing to watch is any move into Cm, F#m, or Bm, since those barre shapes will feel more demanding than the open chords. The opening progression is C - Am - Em - G, so that is a good place to lock in first.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly until each change feels smooth. Then add the harder barre shapes only after the open chords feel automatic. Once your hands know the moves, bring it up to tempo and keep the changes 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.
