verse: D /du /du /du with change half measure between Em and G

bridge: that's a bit tricky

start with a measure split between C and G played with D/du/D/du pattern, then a measure of F played with D/du/u/du pattern, repeat it a second time, then a measure of E played with D/D/du/du pattern and end it with a measure of A and C played with a du/du/u/du pattern but with the change anticipated to the second beat so it will be

A : du/d
C:u/u/du

and then go back with the Em, G progression with the verse pattern

So the song is not so simple as it may sounds 'cause it involves four different patterns, half-measure chord changes, antcipation in the bridge

Dont bar with your index finger, just use it on 4th fret and mute the top string with it too ( I use my thumb, but I think it's not thecnically well done)

for the chord '244300' use the same shape

Hope this helps]]> Easy Songs noel-iu https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/about-a-girl/#post-50546 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/about-a-girl/#post-50545 Mon, 09 Feb 2004 04:15:54 +0000

Thoughts anyone?]]> Easy Songs Elvis https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/about-a-girl/#post-50540 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/about-a-girl/#post-50539 Tue, 18 Nov 2003 20:33:58 +0000 If you can add the “words and chord changes” it would be almost ready for the data-base.
I know that's a lot of work, but when people are just starting out, and trying sing and play at the same time is hard to do.  I haved know some people that had played a long time and still can't do this very well.  
This is what are songs will have that the other tab sites don't have.  This helps out so much.

Its all about being able to PLAY and SING a whole song.  Put into an easy to read format.  And the simpler the better.  (Could I use a capo and play just open chords)?  The song doesn't have to sound just like the CD.  It just has to sound enough like the song so that you can tell what is being played.  
Some of the GN members can take a hard to play lick and interpolate  (is that the word I'm looking for?) it into something easy to play, and its still sounds OK.  This kind of help from the more advance players, that would be greatly appreciated.  

You also have a lot of chords that we don't see very often.  Maybe a chord map would help.

Keep up the good work!
