How to Play Get Lucky on Guitar

Get Lucky by Daft Punk is one of the most infectious funk-pop songs of the modern era, and it is surprisingly easy to play on guitar. It uses just four chords — Bm, D, F#, and E — in a repeating loop throughout the entire song at 116 BPM. The D DU DU strumming pattern with a slight funk groove gives it that distinctive Nile Rodgers feel. The trickiest part is the F# chord, which requires a barre. Once that is comfortable, the song is extremely fun to play along with the original recording.
