someday i'll get it

How to play someday i'll get it by Alek Olsen on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because it stays on a small loop and gives you a steady, melodic feel at about 120 BPM. You can focus on smooth changes and a relaxed groove instead of memorizing a lot of parts.

All of the chords here are barre shapes, so the main challenge is clean fretting and keeping your hand relaxed. The opening move from D# to G#m is the one to watch closely, then make sure G# and Cm land with the same shape and pressure each time.

Start by practicing the four-chord loop slowly until each change feels even. Then repeat D# - G#m - G# - Cm in time, adding speed only when the shapes sound clear. Once that feels solid, play the full cycle several times without stopping.

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.
