Get Here (Oleta Adams) Guitar Lesson with TAB

Get Here Guitar Lesson + TAB
In this guitar lesson, you get TAB for Get Here's intro, verse, and bridge!


Get Here | TAB (capo 3)


Let’s go through the three sections that make up Get Here, starting with the intro:

Get Here TAB, intro.

I’ve kept this as close as possible to the original recording. The chords are IV – I/3 – VI – II – V. It looks difficult with all those extensions.

The Am7add2 could also have been described as an Emadd4(b6). On the original, there’s a b7 in there as well so Em7add4(b6), is a bit crazy…

You could keep paying this for the verse, especially verse 1, however, I felt when it’s just one guitar, it made more sense to add more notes, like this:

Get Here TAB, verse.


Here’s the bridge, notice that I’ve included the build-up to it as well (“there are hills and mountains”).

Get Here TAB, bridge.

Again, I’ve developed it from the original recording as we only have one guitar. To keep it repetitive, I’ve maintained the rhythm almost throughout, the chords are pretty much exactly what they play.
