How to play Great Expectation by SIENNA SPIRO on guitar

Great Expectation by SIENNA SPIRO is a strong song to learn if you want a polished, driving feel at a moderate pace. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a spot where you can focus on clean changes and steady timing, and the opening D#m - F# - B - C# progression gives you a clear, satisfying loop to lock into.

The chart uses barre shapes for the chords, so this is more about control and endurance than open-position ease. You will want to watch the move from B to C# and back into D#m, since that shift can expose any buzz or slowdown if your fretting hand is not set early.

Start by practicing each barre shape one at a time, then connect D#m - F# - B - C# slowly until the changes feel even. Once that is smooth, use a metronome and bring the tempo up in small steps. Keep your hand relaxed, and aim for clean chord changes before chasing speed.

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.
