About Lucid Dreams

The guitar work in "Lucid Dreams" is deceptively simple on the surface, but nailing the feel is where most players stumble. The track is built around a looping melodic phrase in F# minor that borrows its emotional weight from the interpolated string line of Sting's "Shape of My Heart," so your phrasing needs to carry that same melancholic, almost hypnotic quality. At 85 BPM, the tempo is relaxed, but playing too mechanically will kill the vibe. The challenge is keeping each note clean and letting it breathe, rather than rushing through the pattern. If the repeating melodic figure keeps slipping out of feel, use the Practice Toolbar to loop it slowed down until the spacing between notes feels natural in your fingers. Juice WRLD built his sound in the Pop Rock space with guitar tones that sit back in the mix, so lean toward a clean or lightly compressed tone rather than anything heavy.

  • The song is in F# minor and centers on a cyclical melodic guitar phrase that requires smooth, even fretting and consistent pick attack to maintain its hypnotic character.
  • At 85 BPM, the feel is slow and spacious, so focus on note sustain and controlled dynamics rather than speed when learning the main figure.
  • A clean or lightly compressed guitar tone in E Standard tuning suits this track best, keeping the melodic line clear without overpowering the vocals.

How to Play Lucid Dreams

Tuning: E Standard · Key: F# minor · Tempo: 85 BPM

The backbone of "Lucid Dreams" is a looping four-chord progression in F# minor, and the challenge on guitar is sustaining the melancholic mood across repeated cycles without the playing feeling mechanical. The sample-based original means you are essentially reconstructing the harmony from scratch, so lock in the chord shapes cleanly before worrying about any melodic embellishment on top. At 85 bpm the tempo is moderate, but keeping consistent dynamics through each chord change is harder than it sounds on a clean tone. A common pitfall is rushing the chord transitions; loop just the progression at reduced speed until each change feels effortless, then bring it back to full tempo.

Loop each section and focus on clean, even timing rather than speed, with the metronome at 85 BPM.
