Arrangement Details:

  • Key Changes: E Major to F Major (changing from one to the other throughout the song)
  • Key Signature: E Major - 4 sharps (F#, C#, G#, D#)
  • Key Signature: F Major - 1 flat (Bb)
  • Time Signature: 4/4 — Four quarter-note beats per measure
  • Tempo: Moderately
  • Metronome: ♩ = 102
  • Voice Range: F4 - F5
  • Guitar Tuning - 450 Hz: If you are playing with the music video, you will need to tune each string of your guitar to 450 Hz (instead of 440 Hz), otherwise the guitar will sound slightly flatter compared to the video.
  • Chord variations: You may want to replace some major chords with 7th chords to add a little interest, namely: E7 and B7. Try interchanging some of these and see what you think. When the same chords are constantly repeated, a 7th here or there breaks things up a bit, and can sound great in the process. 🥳🎸🎶
