Stephen Sanchez - Until I Found You - Guitar Lesson

About Until I Found You

At 92 BPM in C major with standard tuning, "Until I Found You" sits in a comfortable range that rewards clean, melodic playing over brute technique. The song leans on a gentle, repeating chord progression that keeps the rhythm guitar understated and the emotional weight in the melody. Getting that lightness right means paying close attention to your strumming dynamics: the verses need a soft touch, and pushing too hard too early will kill the mood before the chorus lands. Stephen Sanchez pulls from a Pop Rock sensibility that blends warm, retro-flavored tones with modern song structure, so a clean amp setting with just a touch of reverb will suit the part well. If the chord transitions feel rushed at first, use the Practice Toolbar to loop a few bars slowed down until the movement becomes automatic. The song rewards patience more than speed.

• The chord progression stays within C major throughout, making it a practical song for reinforcing diatonic chord vocabulary in open or first-position shapes.
• At 92 BPM the strumming pattern is unhurried, but keeping consistent dynamics across quiet verses and fuller choruses is the main challenge.
• A clean tone with light reverb captures the warm, retro-leaning guitar sound that suits this song well.
