Someday Someway by Marshall Crenshaw – Guitar Tab
Why I Like This Tab
This tab for “Someday Someway” by Marshall Crenshaw is a great example of how simple chord progressions can still create a powerful and memorable song. The chords are straightforward, but with the addition of the tabbed intro riff, it gives the song a distinctive flavor that sets it apart. The fact that it’s in standard tuning and doesn’t require a capo also makes it a very accessible song for guitarists of various levels.
Practice Tip
One tip for mastering this song would be to focus on getting a good handle on the intro riff, as this is the signature part of the song. It’s not too difficult, but it does require some precision and timing. I would recommend breaking it down into smaller, manageable parts and practicing it slowly before trying to play it up to speed. It’s also important to make sure you’re comfortable with the chord changes, especially if you’re a beginner.
Genre & Difficulty
The genre of this song feels like a blend of rock and pop, with a touch of country thrown in for good measure. This is a great song for beginner to intermediate players who are looking to challenge themselves with a cool, catchy riff and some basic chord changes. It’s also a great song for anyone who enjoys this style of music and is looking to expand their repertoire.
