I guess i didnt take that into account thats its only one guitar not 2. Its clever that being the case, but judged on overall appeal i still find it quite bland .
Its nice, but there is nothing notable about the arrangement. It is quite boring & vacuous. If you want a guitar version then my pick would be John Lennons version.
It's hard to come up with a better arrangement than this for that song... Also hard to figure out how he's getting all the bass notes in there while playing the lead at the same time.
I actually bought the book and it shows you in the tabs. pretty clever arrangement but it's rather straightforward. if you listen closely, you'll notice the bass line notes always line up with the melody so you don't actually need an independent thumb for this song. his other arrangements however....
i'm still needing lessons!! i didn't really devote any time to guitar playing before, cuz i didn't own a guitar, but since 2 ppl i've met have given me their guitars on separate occasions i've had more time to play it.
I swear Tyler Hilton has a song that sounds like this. It was driving me crazy to the point I muted the TV whenever the "A diamond is forever" commercial came on.
There are parts where you can definantely tell that this is one guitar. There are notes that should overlap in this song but since he only has 5 fingers to do both the chords and the melody you can clearly hear him hesitating on the chords a few times.
I've seen him play live. The sound he can create with just one guitar is incredible. And for those who are skeptical, this is definitely not layered. He played other songs live that were more complicated than this.
No, it is not layered, it is absolutely only one guitar, one take. Solo. No other tracks or guitar overdubs were used. I know this for a fact because I produced the song and the CD it is taken from: "Pop Goes Guitar".
what they do is he records himself doing the background of the song. then he records another part over the background and puts them together. he does both guitar parts. alot of vocalist do this. my dad did it all the time
He was a guitarist for Paul McCartney and the Wings. I had no idea he did this. The wings was a fantastic band, but this song ALONE makes me appreciate his guitaring skills so much more. I've never heard a more beautiful acoustic of anything in my life.

Great song this one is somehow more beutiful than the one by river phoenix. I say more beutiful but not better, you know? Its just like river phoenix's voice wavers perfectly but its not as relaxing.
i cant find it anywhere, but let me know if you do. i know you can buy it if you want, for $20 along with a cd and tabs to other songs, but free tabs for this dont seem easy to come by

@MrSaneperson You DO know that this is all done on one guitar--not two--right? I imagine that arranging a piece such as this is quite awesome. :)
