His voice must have been a bit low that day....I have the sheet music and its definitely at 3 - if you play along to the CD you will need to anyway.

All the best

Anyway, I have really enjoyed learning this, and although the chord progression is still a little slow, I'm getting there!

Thanks for posting such a fab tune!

Waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy looking forward to you posting "you're beautiful", there's a couple of bits I'm really struggling with! A month of playing, it's not really surprising though is it!

As for ways of playing the G that high up the neck. Hmm no easy answer I am afraid. A mini barre probably won't work as it will restrict the other fingers too much.

Only thing i can suggest is really squeezing the two fingers (pinky and ring) together as tightly as possible. Or move the capo down two frets but you'll lose the distinctive Blunt sound.

Watch this space for "you're beautiful" coming soon.

...and I pop in here only to see a lesson for the great song I heard that made me think "Hey, I could probably play that."

Pure awesomeness packaged up in coincidental lesson form. Will be working on this one tonight, thanks a million! 8)]]> Easy Songs Pilot https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/james-blunt-high/#post-141470 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/james-blunt-high/#post-141458 Wed, 30 Nov 2005 03:46:34 +0000 Easy Songs Geek in the Pink https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/james-blunt-high/#post-141458 https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/james-blunt-high/#post-141329 Tue, 29 Nov 2005 11:18:35 +0000
Just wanted to say thanks for posting this song. It's the first one I've tried from the ESD having only been playing just over a month. i printed the instructions and this sounds fantastic. My wife even came into the lounge and said "That's James Blunt!"

I was merrily strumming the tune right up until my dogs had a fight and I got bitten in the process. Dented my little finger and it's very very soer this morning! Oh well, no playing for me for a couple of days!

Just a quick question though. With the capo on the 8th fret it's very hard for my fat fingers to put the ring and pinky in the same fret. Is there an easier way of playing the G chord up that high? Would barring those two strings help as they don't move anyway?

Thanks again!

Yeah its a moderately paced song, I haven't got the book with me here so I can't say for certain what bpm it is - if I remember i will have a look tonight and post tomorrow.

Vic yeah that's exactly what I thought - Cmaj7/E but the chord name came straight from the sheet music so that's what i went with.

I agree this is a lovely progression and great to strum along to - it really is a nice album and well worth a listen, the guys got a really unusual voice.

All the best and thanks for your comments

I always look out for your submissions Matt as they are always songs I know or like.

itunes will give you 30 seconds of this which should be enough to get a feel for the song.]]> Easy Songs fingersnfumbs https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/james-blunt-high/#post-126506
