“Get Lucky” by: Daft Punk

Rhythm Guitar Instruction

Get Lucky by Daft Punk - Instruction

This lesson is intended to help you improve your rhythm chops using “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk. I built this lesson with the beginner in mind but the concepts here can be applied to any level of player.

I start by showing each chord individually then showing the strumming for each chord at half the tempo. I do not use tablature so there’s no need to know how to read tablature for this lesson.

Once you’ve completed the instructions you’ll move over to the Get Lucky Play-A-Long to practice what you learned. Start by setting the video playback speed to 50%. Once you feel comfortably playing along the whole time try increasing the speed. But only a little bit at a time until you can play it at the original tempo.

This Play-A-Long is part of the “Get Lucky” Rhythm Guitar Instruction 30 day challenge. If you haven’t already done so please watch the Instruction video prior to working with the Play-A-Long.
