I don't seem to be able to find a lesson on how to play "so beautiful" by Pete Murray. I don't suppose you do one!? Or where I can find one? Thanks for your time! : )

[educationalmaterials]

I can play the song but have not done so in a while, I will have a look when I have a chance and maybe I will post a lesson if I feel inspired.

[lavenderAus]

Thank you so much. It will take me a few goes, but I actually understand you! Cheers : )

[educationalmaterials]

Glad you found it useful, thanks for the comment!!

[Bennisemo]

u got this song wrong man the lead should be top e string

[holloways96]

hey the lesson was really good but the picking... i need help with the picking.? you need to say which string ur plucking ok hehe thanks any way

[educationalmaterials]

The Low E and A strings

[Guitarpixx]

@holloways96 F# (E string 2nd) is the passing note between G & Em B (A string 2nd) is the passing note between C & Am...

[dylansorensen]

was awesom learnt it in 15mins thanks man :)

[educationalmaterials]

well done to you and thanks for the comment

[educationalmaterials]

THe low E and the A string

[ItsPureWill]

its just me, but i think for the chorus that C/D sounds a lot better after D than Am

[educationalmaterials]

What ever you think sounds best then go with that, that's what i usually do even if it is not entirely correct

[asew50]

i put the capo on the 3 fret

[educationalmaterials]

Whatever works for you vocals is the way to go!!!

[JPJonnyPro]

thanks

[educationalmaterials]

No problem

[VR9TA2]

Thanks that was a great help Cheers :)

[educationalmaterials]

No problem

[VR9TA2]

hi could you please veify which note to play instead of fret because it isnt very clear, particularlty at around 2minutes.

Thank you

[educationalmaterials]

I will write the notes in realtation to the capo, when changing from G to Em the picked notes are F#, E; Em to G picked notes F#, G; C to Am picked notes B, A and Am to C picked notes are B, C.

[kizacolo]

hi. im new to guitar. is it necessary to have that clip on the first fret? and if it is there, how do u place your fingers on the first fret for like C etc.

thanks, I've got to learn somehow!

[educationalmaterials]

THe clip is called a capo and it is necessary if you want to play the song in the original key. When you put a capo on then all chords are in relation to the capo (it becomes the head stock so to speak) so you do your C chord shape as normal and just imagine the capo is the head of the guitar (the chord you are actually playing is now a B)

[kizacolo]

oh thanks James! BTW i really like your covers!

two more question, hehe, when i just have tabbed music how do i know the key it's in? and one last one, are there any websites you can suggest? many thanks!

[educationalmaterials]

Not sure if you mean how do you no where to put the capo or actually what key it's in??? The website that I find a lot of tabs on is ultimateguitar, but a lot of them are only partly correct and require some modification, it is rare to find one that is totally correct.

[kizacolo]

hey. i mean for any tab you find, how do you know what key it's in (and i think therefore if you need a capo or not?)

thanks, sorry for sounding so stupid.

[educationalmaterials]

Usually it will tell you if there is a capo and usually the chords are written in relation to the capo. Sometimes the tab won't say if there is a capo so if you lay the chord and it doesn't sound right then I either means there is a capo or the guitar has been tunned down. The key doesn't really matter all that much for playing the guitar, it is wether there is a capo or not that matters.

[lovetheedge]

Hi James another big thankyou...wasnt even going to attempt this song because of the picking but as usual you made it a breeze. Got another one down and I believe a new favourite in my repotoire...Cheers mate Pete (From the gong) ps any chance of some Rod Stewart?

[educationalmaterials]

Glad you liked the lesson and thanks for the comment. No sorry I don't know any Rod Stewart

[Prescious4]

great thank you!

[educationalmaterials]

and thanks for the comment

[jhodgeswannab]

how do you pick second fret? do you mean pick the second string?

[educationalmaterials]

No I mean pick the 2nd fret. The fill is played on the E and A string (or the 2 strings at the top of the guitar), when I say pick the second fret I mean put your finger on the 2nd fret and play whatever string you have fretted (either the E (on the G and Em) or the A (on the C and Am) string depending on which part of the song you are on).

[davemcc61]

Excellent Mate: What about the tab for opportunity

[attantionalarm]

kool thnx, greatly apreciated, from one pete murray fan to another :)

[educationalmaterials]

No problem, glad you liked it. I am going to post a lesson on Saving Grace (the one that Pete did only shows the chords, so I will include the strumming pattern for those who can't work it out) in the next couple of days so subscribe if you want to stay tuned.

[joetjunert]

great lesson, thanks a lot
