How to play "Gonna Get" on guitar
[Intro and Verse Chord Progression]
- The song starts with an intro progression of C#m, A, E, B/D#. Repeat
this through the intro to set the emotional tone for the song.
- For the verses, continue using this progression. The chord changes
support the narrative of moving on and reflection. Use a steady
strumming pattern to keep the flow while narrating the story.
[Chorus Dynamics]
- In the chorus, the dynamics shift slightly with a continuation of the
chords—C#m, A, E, B. Here, increase your strumming intensity to
highlight the emotional declaration of the lyrics, emphasizing the
sense of loss and realization.
- This part of the song should resonate with a strong emotional impact,
reflecting on past relationships and the irreplaceability of the
narrator.
[Pre-Chorus]
- The pre-chorus introduces a brief section with A and C#m to B. This
section serves as a build-up to the chorus, so maintain a rising
dynamic to seamlessly transition into the more intense chorus.
[Bridge and Ending]
- The bridge uses a sequence of A, C#m, B, bringing in a reflective and
somewhat regretful mood. Here, you might want to use a softer
strumming or even picking pattern to emphasize the reflective
lyrics about looking back and realization.
- Conclude with the final chorus and end with the intro chord
progression, letting each chord resonate, providing a reflective
closure to the song.
Common mistakes:
- Not changing dynamics between the verse, chorus, and bridge. Ensure
each part has its unique feel to support the storytelling effectively.
- Rushing through the emotional parts, especially the chorus and bridge.
Keep the tempo steady and allow the lyrics to convey their full impact.
