Heronymusic's video: How to play Hope Acoustic guitar piece in open D Tablature

For tablature go to : http://www.myspace.com/heronymusic/photos/12300774 #%7B%22ImageId%22%3A13302316%7D This is the slowed down version of my song "Hope" (Acoustic guitar piece in open D). I've divided the song in several parts like intro, couplet etc.. I've got so many nice and warm responses to this song ; Which was really encouraging especially cause it's an own song! I also got quite some requests for the tab and I finally finished it ! The tab is here : www.myspace.com/heronymusic or mail me at jeroengrootbeumer@gmail.com The purpose of this video is to get a closer look at the finger positions (Which is very important for this song Ithink. Some parts are unlogic or harder to play when you use the wrong fingers.) When I learn a song of someone else I always like to hear a slowed down version if possible. I think it helps out a lot to figure out all the little things that are going in a song. Here are some last tips for playing this song : - When you tuned your guitar to open D and the capo is on , check the tuning again. (It's sometimes get's a little out of tune cause of the capo) - The beauty of open tunings is that you can let many notes ring . Decide for yourself which you like to sound trough. - Start slowly with practising and in practise in pieces ( Intro , couplet etc..) - Make the song you're own . There are no rules. So play it just the way you like. - The most important thing is that you use your ears to hear if it sounds correct (or to your satisfaction). There are little strums in it but you have to listen carrefully if you like to play them. I sometimes get questions why the tutorial isn't with more explanation ; I think everything you need to hear is allready there ; A slowed down version where you can see what's going on and you have tablature. The internet is a great source of info and sharing music, info and tabs. But a big disadvantage is that people are getting lazy and don't use/develop their own musical hearing. I have to be aware of it myself from time to time. Most of all I hope you'll enjoy playing this song just as much as I enjoy playing it! All the best Jeroen Feel free to ask questions : jeroengrootbeumer@gmail.com www.myspace.com/heronymusic Original version of the song is here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA4tk3tya7g
