Reaching For A Star by Carly Rae Jepsen is played in the key of Bm. Lagu 'Reaching For A Star' karya Carly Rae Jepsen aslinya terdengar pada tangga nada Bm, namun penggunaan Capo di Fret 3 memungkinkan gitaris memainkan progresi bentuk akor G#m yang jauh lebih bersahabat bagi jari tanpa mengubah nada asli rekaman. Chord B mayor dan B minor dapat digantikan dengan open chord B7 (x21202) dan Bm7 (x20202) yang memiliki posisi jari jauh lebih ergonomis bagi kelenturan tangan pemula. Perpindahan antara Bm dan F#m menuntut kelenturan: arahkan jari manis terlebih dahulu ke fret sasaran sebagai tumpuan awal sebelum menyusun posisi jari lainnya secara mantap dan stabil. Latihlah pola ritme genjrengan '↓ - ↓ ↑ - ↑ ↓ ↑' pada sukat 4/4 menggunakan metronom mulai tempo santai 86 BPM dengan aksen down-stroke (↓) mantap pada ketukan ganjil satu dan tiga, sebelum secara bertahap melaju stabil menuju kecepatan asli rekaman 120 BPM.
