Dro_1 - May 2022 - Tears In Heaven + People Are Strange + Shallow + Stairway To Heaven + Light My Fire + Sleep Walk

Hi peeps, this one is Shallow.

This song does have a nice flow and sound to it, so I thought it would be a good one to learn and have as part of my guitar practice playlist in general.

I suppose I also thought that this song could have potentially been a good way to impress any ladies that might have caught my eye at the time, haha. But to this day, I still have never played the guitar in front of anybody… so sharing my guitar stuff online for the first time with you guys has been a new and fun experience for me so far.

I found the song pretty beginner friendly with the Bm chord being the only barre to deal with briefly during the Gaga shouting part. There is also a D/F# that might be tricky for some people with wider guitar necks/smaller hands (like me), so I’ve always had a weird way of doing that particular chord.
In regards to that little extra strum flurry at the very end of the song, that’s just me being silly. I don’t know why I throw it in everytime that I play this one… I just do, deal with it :slight_smile:

Below are the Youtube and SoundCloud links for my attempts at this song.

For those of you who plan to hum/sing along to the video, you would have to start singing the 1st verse from pretty much the first second of the video (Because I didn’t play the non-singing intro part which uses the same chords as the verses anyway.)

Starting at 0:01 - “Tell me something girl…”
From 0:53 - “Tell me something boy…”

Alternatively you can listen to my audio version which includes an intro → in that recording, the 1st verse starts at 0:22.
I had also found another audio version of myself very faintly singing in the background to keep track of my position in the song - but that particular one will never see the light of day :laughing:

Feedback and general comments are welcome as always, Thanks…
