More about this title

About the Artist: Sugar Ray

Sugar Ray emerged from Orange County in the early 1990s and became one of pop rock's most accessible crossover acts. Their 1999 album 14:59 produced "Every Morning" and established the band's signature blend of laid-back guitar work, infectious hooks, and radio-friendly production that defined late-90s alternative rock.

In the classroom, Sugar Ray's catalog offers students a direct connection to the pop-rock hits that shaped their parents' generation. The band's approach to song construction, straightforward chord progressions paired with memorable melodies, makes their material pedagogically valuable for guitarists learning to balance technical competence with song interpretation.

Why we love this

"Anyone" sits at the sweet spot between accessibility and genuine musicianship. Students recognize the song immediately, which removes barriers to engagement and lets them focus on understanding chord progressions, rhythm patterns, and the specific fingering challenges that make the part feel effortless when played correctly.

What to expect

Breezy and laid-back, with an irresistible forward momentum. The groove sits naturally under your hands, inviting you into a pocket that feels both casual and locked in. There's a warmth to the chord voicings that makes this song feel summery and approachable, even as the technical demands keep your attention.

Who it's for

Guitar students who want to learn contemporary pop rock repertoire will find immediate payoff in this TAB. The piece works well for anyone seeking to understand how rhythm guitar anchors a modern pop production, from beginning students working on rhythm timing to intermediate players refining their feel and groove.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the pocket by playing along with the original recording first. Pay attention to the rhythmic pocket rather than rushing ahead of it.
  • Approach the main riff with a light touch. The song's signature groove depends on crisp articulation and clean note separation, not volume.
  • Work through any barre chord transitions slowly using a metronome, especially where the tab shifts between open and fretted positions.
  • Nail the dynamics of the verse versus chorus sections. The verse sits back in the mix, while the chorus opens up and drives forward.

How to use it

Assign this as a repertoire choice when students are ready to work with contemporary songs that reflect their own musical world. It pairs well with lessons on groove-based playing and rhythm guitar dynamics. Consider having multiple students learn it so they can perform it together at a recital or informal concert, building ensemble accountability around a song they genuinely want to play.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading guitar TAB with accurate rhythm notation
  • Executing clean chord transitions at moderate tempo
  • Developing consistent rhythmic feel and pocket awareness
  • Understanding chord voicing choices in pop rock contexts
  • Balancing articulation and sustain in strummed passages
