Get Lucky by Daft Punk becomes a cozy acoustic groove on kalimba: the famous guitar riff sits beautifully on the tines. The song is built on one repeating four-bar figure — learn it and you have essentially learned the whole track; the rest is keeping the rhythm steady.

The riff's bass lives on the low F3–A3 tines, so the arrangement targets a 21-key kalimba; on 17 keys press transpose in the banner. Play it in Play mode with the metronome on: this is dance music at heart — a steady pulse matters more than hitting every single note.
