Hello guys! This is another request from my man --. And it is James Blunt’s song called You’re Beautiful. This is the way I play it so hopefully it will help. Standard tuning, I got a capo at the third fret. There is also another way you can play it with the tab on A fret, I prefer this one. This is how I learnt it first, that is when we teach it.
So capo on the 3rd fret and the first little riff is [Demonstration]. So, you know, that is really pretty easy to play around the start of that. The first one you play is a [Demonstration], is an open G on the G string, it is an open note. So you just come down, 1, 2, 3, to the 4 string down and you are going to put it first. [Demonstration] So you kind of hear the G. The capo on the 3rd fret. [Demonstration] and you are going to go down the string below it which should be the 5th string down which is your B string and you are going to play with your pointer finger 1, [Demonstration] off, [Demonstration] 1, it is just, [Demonstration] 1, open, 1 open then back to this G string again. [Demonstration] 1, open, 1, 3, 1, open, 1, then you come up here to the E, A, D string, you play -- do the third string and then you play D, 3, [Demonstration]. All right so, again, come down to the 4th string down, to your G string. And you are going to play open, [Demonstration]. Then on the string down, your B string you are going to play, your pointer finger, 1, open, 1, put that round a little bit then you play the G string again, [Demonstration] 1, open, 1, 3 with that ring and back down to 1, open, 1.Then on the third string down, which is your D string, you are going to play D, 3. From there, that is actually the one that is played in the middle, kind of the riff I should say the lead solo there in the middle too. The tabs I am going to have for this have that tab stupid follows that.
For the chord of the verses, the 4 chords that I played are C, G, A Minor, and then F, you can play the F barre chord or you can just play like this exactly. If backwards, it sounds like this. So, when we start out on the C which is the top string is open, second string down to your a string, put your ring finger on the 3rd fret, 3rd string down is your D string, put your middle finger on the second fret, skip the fourth string, it is going to be open. And then on the 5th string down, take your pointer finger and put it in the first fret. So, you are going to have open, ring finger third, middle finger second, open, pointer finger first, open. And that is the first chord, it is a C, to a G. In this song I play three finger G because that way from where I am here, I just take this ring finger and middle finger and just move this up one string, same fret and then this up one string. And then I put my pinky down here back in that, it is also G. So you can have ring finger, third, middle finger, second, open, open, open, pinky finger on the third fret. Then the third chord again is an A Minor. We have open, open. On the third string down, you have your middle finger in the second fret, the string below that, ring finger second fret and then the fifth string down which is your B string and your pointer finger, first fret. It sounds like this. [Demonstration]
Then when you go to the F, keep your pointer finger, right there on that same first fret of the fifth string down and where you have before, you are going to take your middle finger, move it down, it is actually the same place your ring finger was. So your middle finger on the F is going to be 1, 2, 3, 4, string down on the second fret then you are going to take your ring finger, out it on the third fret of the second string down, you’re a string and you are going to take your pinky finger on the third string down which is your D string on the third fret because you are going to have open, ring finger third, pinky finger third, middle finger second, pointer finger first and that is the F. [Demonstration]
So, now when I play it, I will play it. Here is what it sounds like without the pull off. [Demonstration] That is how you cannot play it if you always play the chord
