About Beautiful Things

At 92 BPM in F major, "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone sits in a moderate, flowing tempo that suits its emotionally open feel. The guitar part leans into clean, arpeggiated chord work, where the challenge is less about speed and more about sustaining a smooth, consistent picking hand while the chords shift underneath. Playing in E Standard means no retuning needed, but F major can be awkward for guitarists used to open-position keys, so expect some barre chord shapes to keep things ringing cleanly. The dynamic build across the song is what really demands attention: you need to control your attack carefully so the quiet passages stay quiet before the bigger sections arrive. This is exactly where the Practice Toolbar pays off. Loop the transitional sections slowed down to lock in your picking dynamics before bringing the tempo back up. Pop arrangements like this one reward clean technique and expressive touch far more than technical fireworks.

  • The song sits at 92 BPM in E Standard tuning, so no retuning is needed and you can focus entirely on clean arpeggiated picking technique.
  • F major means barre chord shapes will come up regularly, making smooth fretting-hand transitions between chords one of the key things to practise.
  • Controlling pick attack across the song's dynamic shifts, from its quieter verses to the bigger choruses, is the core physical challenge for guitarists.

Benson Boone uses the Stratocaster's bright single-coil pickups to craft articulate, dynamic clean tones that sit perfectly beneath his vocals without overwhelming the mix. The guitar's natural transparency lets his restrained, tasteful playing style shine through on tracks like 'Beautiful Things.'

The Telecaster's crisp single-coil voice provides Boone with glassy, cutting clean tones ideal for his minimalist electric arrangements. Its direct output and clarity make it perfect for conveying the subtle dynamics of his fingerstyle and strumming variations.

Boone's session players rely on the Twin Reverb's legendary headroom and sparkling clean tone, which preserves the transparent, uncompressed quality essential to his arrangements. The amp's built-in spring reverb adds natural depth without requiring external pedals.

The Deluxe Reverb delivers the warm, chimey cleans Boone needs while offering slightly more breakup than the Twin for intimate performances. Its moderate wattage and responsive dynamics suit his approach of letting touch shape tone rather than amp gain.

Boone occasionally swaps to the AC30 for a warmer, more vintage-chimey alternative that complements his folk-influenced sensibilities. The amp's natural harmonic bloom adds subtle character while staying transparent enough to highlight his chord voicings and vocal melodies.
