Tuning: E A D G B E
====================================================================================================== Artist: Daft Punk Track: Get Lucky Album: Random Access Memories Year: 2013 Key: F# Minor Chord progression: Bm - D - F#m - E Signature: 4/4 BPM: ~ 116.0 On the song: This is actually a tricky one to play exactly like the original. Nile Rodgers, the guitarist who played on the record, has quite a unique sound. It seems that the guitar part is overdubbed at some parts. It might be too difficult for some. Fortunately, the chord progression is easy to play. The album version has a longer intro - it's the one tabbed here. Technique: The strumming pattern is the tricky part. Technically it should be played in very fast up-down strokes, however it is not essential to get the right sound. There is a short video on YouTube where Nile Rodgers shows how he plays it (youtube.com/watch?v=JcaVlNIZMFQ). The left hand is as important here. To get the right sound it relaxes and mutes the strings constantly. I strongly recommend watching a few videos about the strumming. Tone settings: I use a strat set on the neck pickup, with tone set to full. On the amp, boost the treble, mids get a small increase, and strictly for the rhythm guitar part, the bass is gets cut - but it can be left for some nice bass parts on the left strings. Do not use excessive overdrive, reverb or delay - the tone should be clean. Intro (album version): The "+" sign indicates the start of the bar, where the piano plays the chord.

You can combine the two for diversity.
