Home » hallelujah piano chord » what was the first song you learned to play?

what was the first song you learned to play?

Q. What was the first song you could play all the way through on guitar?
Also any tips on what songs i should try to learn (I'm A Noob).

I want to learn songs with chords and tabs (Not something extremely easy, i want a challenge.)

A. I learned to play "The Incomprehensible Sleep" by a band called Cool Hand Luke.
It wasn't a good beginner's song, as it has nothing but barred jazz chords. It was a serious challenge, but it paid off.

I'd recommend something with a 16-note strum pattern(up-down-up-down at a steady pace) and both major an minor chords.

Check out "Hallelujah" by... Well, it's been covered by hundreds of people and I don't know the original artist, but I like John Cale's version.
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEOZLQ3d1FI
I know that's on piano, but the chords work the same.

Chords(with tab for the chords): http://www.e-chords.com/guitartab.asp?idmusica=37891
While that's in the key of G, I prefer the key of C.
The chords in the key of C: C instead of G, Am instead of Em, G instead of D, F instead of C, Em instead of Bm, and I think that's all the ones used.

So the intro is (C) up-down-rest-up-down-rest- (Am) [move your ring finger to the string under your middle finger] up-down-up-down. Just repeat that a couple times.

Hope this helps, and that's not overly confusing(I'm horrible at trying to explain chords).
Good luck!

Original Question

What is a great female based 3 part harmony song?
Q. My sisters and I are looking for a song to perform together and we need a really good one. Especially if there is sheet music out there for it!

A. A couple of pretty good ones are:

Not Ready To Make Nice (Dixie Chicks)
[Basically, most stuff by the Dixie Chicks involve 3-way harmonies.]

Hallelujah
Beautiful (Christina Aguilera)
Strength Of A Woman (Shaggy)
Seasons Of Love (RENT)
Say My Name (Destiny's Child)
Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton)
Breakfast At Tiffany's (Deep Blue Something)

Also, a fairly easy way to figure out your harmonies without having sheet music is to find any semi-decent guitar or piano player. Take the chords of whatever song you want and get him/ her to tell you the three major notes in each chord. Those are the three notes you sing. For example, the three notes in a G-chord are G, B and D.

Here's my favorite piano/ guitar chord/ tab website: www.911tabs.com

Have fun performing!

Original Question

Where can I get the actual piano sheet music of Rufus Wainwright's song "Hallelujah"?
Q. I have found some sheet music for the song, but it is basic and the right hand is the melody that simply plays with the lyrics. I also found Leonard Cohen's version, which is very similar, but not quite right for some reason. Is there anywhere you can get the actual chord one for free. Please answer honestly. Thanks

Might not be the specific ones you are looking for but... You can find plenty of sheet music for download at these websites. They have over 1000+ of them. Good luck!
