How to play Housewife by Tate McRae on guitar

Housewife is a strong pick if you want a modern pop song that feels steady, direct, and satisfying to lock into. At about 120 BPM, it sits in a groove that is easy to count but still keeps you focused, so you can work on clean changes and confident timing while the song moves forward.

You get one open shape, E, and the rest are barre shapes, so the main challenge is keeping your fretting hand relaxed and accurate. The opening move from E to G#m to B to F# is the change to watch out for, since it asks you to shift from open to barre shapes quickly without losing the pulse.

Start by looping E to G#m, then add B and F# until the shape changes feel even. Once that is smooth, practice the full opening progression with a slow, steady count, then bring it up to tempo in small steps. Keep your strums light and consistent so the chord changes stay clear.

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.
