How to play "Out Of Reach" by Rivermaya on guitar

Intro:
- Chords: D, G, C, F
- Start with a bright and clean strumming pattern, repeating the sequence twice.
- This intro sets a dreamy and hopeful tone right from the beginning.

Verse I:
- Chord pattern: C, F, G - C
- "Don't turn your head this way, I need a magic potion," use a gentle strum
  on C and F, transitioning to G and back to C, creating a sense of longing.
- Maintain a steady rhythm to keep the verse flowing smoothly.

Verse II:
- Follow the same chord pattern as Verse I.
- "Oh static photograph," emphasize the emotional depth with a slightly more
  pronounced strum on the G chord to highlight the lyric's sentiment.

Chorus:
- Chords: D, G, C, F
- "You are the best that I've ever seen," switch back to the chorus chord
  progression and strum more energetically to lift the mood.
- This is the song's hook, so make sure it's catchy and vibrant.

Verse III & IV:
- Again, use the C, F, G - C pattern.
- These verses add layers to the story, so keep the strumming consistent but
  consider varying your dynamics slightly to reflect the changing lyrics.

Adlib:
- Continue with the D, G, C, F chord progression.
- Use this section to explore melodic lines or to simply enjoy the chord
  progression as a break before returning to the chorus.

Final Chorus:
- Return to the D, G, C, F progression with the same energetic strumming as before.
- End with the lyrical and musical theme strong in mind, repeating "Out of reach"
  to emphasize the song's message of longing and unattainability.

Common Mistakes:
- Not changing the strumming dynamics between the verses and chorus can make the
  song feel flat.
- Rushing through the chord transitions, especially during the chorus where the
  emotional intensity is higher.

General Tips:
- Practice the transitions between the chords slowly to ensure smoothness when
  playing at full speed.
- Listen to the original track to get a feel for the tempo and dynamics.
- Make sure your guitar is well-tuned to capture the song's melodic quality effectively.

Lyrics Meaning:

of longing for someone who seems just beyond reach. The lyrics weave a narrative
of admiration and the pain of love that is not reciprocated, set against a backdrop
of vivid imagery like rooftops and comets, enhancing the sense of distant yearning.
