My Soldier by AJ Rafael (Acoustic Cover)

[FMstatic018]

DO u feel Brave now!!!?!?!?!?

[armedriceballs]

how do you hammer on?

im having problems

[forte0323]

@armedriceballs you pluck/pick a string and, as the name implies, strike onto the string with you finger. It should be like you're literally "hammer"ing onto the string. Depending on the strength of your hammer on, the sound will either be loud or soft. Hope this helps!

[OneDa1231]

can u plz do juss the instrumental and upload it by today thnx a friend needs itt

[forte0323]

@OneDa1231 Sorry, I didn't see this comment 'til today... Even it'll be hella late, I can still do an instrumental for you if you'd like.

[Bowler4lyphe911]

dude i finaly learned this song on guitar

[narusukicon]

omg! ive been trying to learn this song forever > : ()

[PinoyKidzProductions]

Good Job bro keep up the Good work! And yay this was posted on my bray last year lol.

[azndorkk3]

any tutorial? :)

[forte0323]

@azndorkk3 As I was browsing Youtube, I saw that another person had already posted a tutorial so I don't see the need to be redundant and post another tutorial. There are also tabs that are available on Ultimate-Guitar. Therefore, I won't be making a tutorial unless you guys REALLY want me to make one.

[kimxyzeeee]

i cant read tabs. how do you do that "be-e here for you" part?

[forte0323]

@kimxyzeeee It's kind of hard for me to explain, but I'll try my best. For the "be-e here for you" part, you have to pluck a different chord for each syllable. Since it'll be profitable for you to be able to read tabs, I'll try teaching you. While looking at the tabs, you should imagine a mirror. Your hand should be reflective of what you see. The numbers represent which fret your finger should be on (i.e.: 0 is an open string and 2 is on the second fret). The first chord is similar to an Amaj.

[francoz47]

u sound so fobisshhhhh LOL JK dude great job!

[PinoyKidzProductions]

That waz good man, keep up the good work!

[crusheng]

looooool . there's some parts which arent tabbed on ultimate guitar (such as the last part of the last chorus)

you juust gotta listen and figure that part out.

[spo4ken21]

tabs? tutorial? haha

but amazing job!! :D

[forte0323]

@spo4ken21 The tabs can be found on Ultimate-Guitar and there is a tutorial floating around Youtube. Just use the search engine on the respective sites and you'll be able to find them.

[azndudefromhabbo]

[forte0323]

[Thongieboy]

[forte0323]

of course, what kinda person would i be if i didn't pass on my knowledge?

and thx

[liloaznbro]

any updates on the tutorial?

[forte0323]

yah, about the tutorial.

I said i would make it this weekend, but this weekend actually turned out to be even more busier and hectic than i had expected. basically, i haven't recorded it yet. but fear not, i will get to recording/making the tutorial in the near future.

for now though, you can go on ultimate-guitar and search the database. i'm pretty sure that there are tabs for my soldier.

sry everyone for the delay, but i will make it.

better late then never...right?

[vlrb02]

oh my wow, that was amazing! :D

[forte0323]

thanks =]

[suckerforguitar]

omg you're good=)

make a tutorial soon please=))))

i want to learn how to play this song!

whered you learn how to play?

[forte0323]

thx :D

I'll probably make the tutorial this weekend.

I learned this song from a tab that AJ posted on his myspace a long time ago.

[suckerforguitar]

mk thanks! this coming weekend right?

btw you sing goo too!

[forte0323]

actually, i'll make it next weekend because that'll be a 4 day weekend for me.

[suckerforguitar]

haha ok! yay!

[forte0323]

@suckerforguitar Since there is already a tutorial on Youtube, I won't be making one (unless everyone would want another one by me). I learned the song by reading the tabs that AJ posted on his myspace, which should now be on Ultimate-Guitar.

[JustinRDD]

r u the one singing

[forte0323]

yup :D

i didn't have my tripod with me so i had to go with the "guitar only" angle.

[JustinRDD]

ur pretty good

[forte0323]

haha, thx =]

[liloaznbro]

make a tutorial for this song please :D

[forte0323]

I'll make a tutorial as soon as I can. But right now I'm swamped with hw and studying (I went to Washington DC for Obama's Inauguration and missed a week of school).

[steveredfoxy]

I want to learn so bad!!! nice Filipino hands by the way.

[forte0323]

haha, you can recognize a filipino's hands?

i guess I'll make a tutorial for this song..although I suck at teaching guitar

[ElNodu]

I want to learn so bad!!!

[forte0323]

you know, I was actually considering making a tutorial for this song...

if you can read tabs, you can go on ultimate-guitar and look for the tabs.
