How can you access a PlayerGui from a script inside of StarterPlayerScripts?

I am trying to make a key press event, and it relies on a GUI in the PlayerGui, but when I try it says "PlayerGui is not a valid member of Player" here is my script:

local pow = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PowerGui2.Frame -- the GUI
local speed = pow.Select1 -- a text button
if speed.Text == "Selected" then
       -- v all the key press stuff v --
    m.KeyDown:Connect(function(k)
        if k == "q" then
            if db == true then
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 40
                db = false
                wait(10)
                db = true
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
            end
        end
    end)   
end

mouse.KeyDown should not be used. Use UserInputService instead. Make sure that this is done in a local script. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

I developed a solution based on Thetcah's comment and here's the answer:

local pow = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("PowerGui2").Frame
local speed = pow.Select1
if speed.Text == "Selected" then
    m.KeyDown:Connect(function(k)
        if k == "q" then
            if db == true then
                game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 40
                db = false
                wait(10)
                db = true
                game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
            end
        end
    end)   
end

mouse.KeyDown is deprecated. Use UserInputService instead. xPolarium 1388 — 6y
