Pumped Up Kicks

by Foster the People

🎤 Pop
Difficulty ★★☆☆☆
Tuning Standard
Capo None

The groovy bass-line driven riff adapted for guitar from Foster the People's 2011 indie hit. The dark, whistleable melody over Dm-F-C-G creates a deceptively catchy sound. One of the 2010s' most recognizable hooks.
