Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Your first fingerstyle guitar song!

Hallelujah is not only one of the most iconic songs of all time, but it's also a fantastic song to kick-start your fingerstyle guitar journey. At the core of modern fingerstyle guitar is playing bass and melody at the same time. In this lesson I show you how to get started with this idea which will lay the groundwork as you embark on your fingerstyle guitar journey! Remember to download the PDF that I’ve put together for this video. Only use the tab as a guide to know where you put your fingers on the fretboard. Any form of tabs or notation will only tell you what notes to play, whereas the music and expression comes from listening to the song, connecting with the lyrics and putting your own personality into your playing! Go well, have fun with this one, and hopefully it gets you off and running with fingerstyle guitar!
