Finally Chords: Learn the progressions
In the key of Bm, The chords of Finally move like this: VI – V – IV, before the II – V takes us back to VI again, like this:
||: Bm (VI) | A (V) | G (IV) | Em (II) A (V) :||
The best thing about songs with just one simple loop is that you can learn it quickly and then move on to focus on dynamics, breakdown sections, and playing well together.
As a guitarist, the challenge lies in playing something that works with all the keyboard parts. I would suggest adding accents to what the keyboard part is.
Finally was the first song CeCe Peniston wrote!
Teenage beauty pageant and backup singer CeCe Peniston wrote a poem in a chemistry class which turned into her first song, the title of her debut album and breakthrough single.
As a worldwide hit in 1991, Finally was everywhere and so was CeCe. This became overwhelming for the young singer who never managed to follow up on the smash debut.
Based on a four-bar, piano-led chord progression, this is a great song for bands who play weekends for people who want to dance.
