"You Got It" by Roy Orbison is a simple song for beginners to learn on guitar. The song begins with a repeating pattern of G, F, and C chords. To match the rhythm of the original song, try a basic downstroke strumming pattern, playing each chord four times before moving to the next.
The verse introduces a D chord and transitions between G, F, C, and D. The transition from G to F might be a bit tricky for beginners. Practice changing between these two chords to gain smoothness and speed.
The chorus introduces a B7 chord, which might be unfamiliar to beginners. Take some time to practice this chord shape. The strumming pattern remains the same, but pay attention to the rhythm as the words "you got it" align with the changing chords.
The bridge continues the pattern from the chorus but adds a short 'doo-doo' melody. This is a great opportunity to practice picking individual notes within the chord rather than strumming.
The final chorus follows the same pattern as the previous choruses. The outro ends on a D7 to G transition. D7 might be a new chord for beginners, so take some time to get comfortable with it.
Overall, "You Got It" is a great song for practicing chord transitions and developing rhythm with a basic strumming pattern. Remember to start slow and build up speed as you get more comfortable with the chord changes.
