Hi Everyone,

Our newest TARGET and Pay Per Lesson release is on The One That Got Away by Katy Perry!

The One That Got Away is a song by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. It appears on her
best selling 3rd studio album ‘Teenage Dream’ (2010), which is the 2nd album in history to produce
five number-one singles (after Michael Jackson’s ‘Bad’).

It’s very similar to her single Thinking Of You and she often performs the songs going from one into
the other.

The arrangement is done in the key of E and uses all three major and three minor chords, including
three barre chords, making it quite a bit more difficult than Thinking Of You. For that we discuss how
to practice those by using the squeeze/release/lift-drills.

The good news is that the progression is 8 measures long and is, besides the bridge, the same all the
way through.

We of course take a look at the strumming, and break down a few examples as how Perry plays it.

There is also a segment which teaches how to play the song in the key of C (Capo IV), for the ones who
find the barre chords too big of a challenge.

Enjoy this level 4 lesson!
