Ben's slow acoustic numbers make for fantastic finger-picking practices. But something was wrong about the way this one was tabbed. First, although Ben plays many songs at half or a full step lower tuning, this song is definitely played in standard tuning, E A D G B e. Then, besides a tiny change to the hammer-on from E to F, there are, more importantly, undeniably two strings being picked after every bass note, the open G and third-fretted B, with the G picked a little harder so it rings louder. Finally, during the bridge, that picking pattern changes to the one tabbed below - the bass notes were right but it was missing the underlying melody of the bridge. The rest is perfect and very precise in the notation of timing and beats, so the following are Briac's original notes: "A really easy, yet beautiful, song. The timing is the most difficult thing in this song. There might be some errors, especially in the bridge, but it sounds really close... (I believe I fixed those --Omri) Tempo: about 65. The 'e' and 's' below the tabs represent eighth and sixteenth notes. 'h' means hammer-on." Intro / Verse: For the intro play this twice but don't pick the last two pickings after the E to F hammer-on the second time around. For the verse just repeat as neccesary. | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------3-----3---------3-----3-|--------3-----3---------3-----3-| |--------0-----0---------0-----0-|--------0-----0---------0-----0-| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |3---3-----------2---2-----------|0---0-----------0h2-2-----------| e e e s e e e s e e e s s s e e s Chorus: | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------3-----3---------3-----3-|--------3-----3---------3-----3-| |--------0-----0---------0-----0-|--------0-----0---------0-----0-| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |3---3-----------2---2-----------|0---0---------------------------| |--------------------------------|----------------3---3-----------| e e e s e e e s e e e s e e e s | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------3-----3---------3-----3-|--------3-----3---------3-----3-| |--------0-----0---------0-----0-|--------0-----0---------0-----0-| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |3---3-----------2---2-----------|0---0---------------------------| |--------------------------------|----------------3---3-----------| e e e s e e e s e e e s e e e s | | | | | | | | |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |--------3-----3---------3-----3-|--------3-----3---------3-----3-| |--------0-----0---------0-----0-|--------0-----0---------0-----0-| |--------------------------------|--------------------------------| |3---3-----------2---2-----------|0---0---------------------------| |--------------------------------|----------------0h2-2-----------| e e e s e e e s e e e s s s e e s Bridge: Play this twice.
