For some people, this chord progression is too low, for some people it’s too high, and a capo lets us adjust that and find a sweet spot where it’s easy to sing. It’s important to use a capo if you wish to adjust this for your voice. I show you which strings to pluck for each chord because it’s a little bit different, depending on the shape, and then we put the finger picking pattern together with the chords and play through the entire song.įinally, we discuss singing and playing at the same time. In this step-by-step guitar lesson, we’ll be learning Jeff Buckley’s beautiful fingerstyle version. Essentially going up and down with our fingers on each chord shape. Fingerstyle Sheet Music Strumming Sheet Music Originally written and performed by Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah remains one of the most popular and powerful songs of the last century. The fingerpicking pattern itself is quite simple We ascend and then descend through our fingers: thumb, index, middle, ring, middle, index. We practice counting by itself, and then we learn the finger picking pattern. So, the basic unit is two, and we’re subdividing each of those numbers into three little pieces. And this song is a little bit different: instead of counting to four, we only have to count to two, so we play each chord for two downstrokes.īut then, when we add the pattern, our counting goes “one and uh – two and uh”. We work out shapes we practice switching between them, and then we play through the chord shapes using downstrokes only, counting along. It’s basically the most common chord progression in the world plus B7. This song uses five basic shapes: G, Em, C, D, B7. “Hallelujah Fingerstyle” TABLE OF CONTENTS The TAB for this fingerstyle version is available from the link below.Ĭlick here to purchase the full TAB to accompany this lesson for $2.“Hallelujah Fingerstyle” Guitar TAB pdf is now published on Musicnotes (direct product links and FULL SONG PLAY-THROUGH are available on my Patreon page) Click here This is more appropriate those who want to tackle intermediate to advanced fingerstyle.
