"Heavy Heart" by Madi Diaz - Fingerstyle Guitar by Craig D'Andrea

[bolow31]

What saddens me is, the fact I can never play that because I never learnt how to use a seven string guitar.

And also the song

[Hurlbu2]

The songwriter is actually Kyle Ryan. Kyle and Madi do write most of their songs together, but Madi did not collaborate on this one. It was Kyle and Sarah Siskind.

[craigd19]

@Hurlbu2 yep, I know that. But since it was off a Madi Diaz CD I kept it simple for everyone. Lovely piece. One of my favorites....hope you liked it.

[SafetyMan911]

You're a good man, Craig. Just letting you know.

[nicwright09]

this is real good cuz he is playing two melodies at one point AND the base...

[izzya13pllbieber]

wow dude your amazing :) this song is beautiful and you definitely do it justice -3 xoxo

[MrALEXanderCHER]

very good! everything's cool! thumbs up!

[geckosquish]

That guitar confuses me so much! still, beautifully played, you are my favourite guitarist

[PopTheGlock423]

just curious....how do you have more hits on this video than madi diaz herself?

[craigd19]

@PopTheGlock423 Really wish I knew. I also wish more people would listen to her sing this because she is awesome and better than me!

[PopTheGlock423]

@craigd19 Agreed. She rules way hard. She's amazing. I'm just still laughing over the video hits! Hilarious.

[craigd19]

@PopTheGlock423 I hope it's also because I did a good job! Next I'm going to do "Love You Now". That's my favorite

[PopTheGlock423]

@craigd19 Well of course you did an amazing job. Thats probably why you have so many hits! I'm glad you're doing "Love You Now" next! One of my favorites as well :) I'll have to keep a look out for that video. I'm so in love with that entire albumn. Are you familiar with her "Skin and Bone" album?

[craigd19]

@PopTheGlock423 Love that album as well and "Side" is still in heavy rotation for me. All three albums are great. I'm addicted to her songs.

[PopTheGlock423]

@craigd19 Wait, am I dumb? What's her third album and why do I not know about this! Am I really stuck on the two of them that I didn't even care to get the third? Ha! fail.

[craigd19]

@PopTheGlock423 Not dumb, just unaware or something. Skin and Bone, Ten Gun Salute and Plastic Moon. buy the missing one and enjoy!

[PopTheGlock423]

@craigd19 Plastic Moon really? I can't find that anywhere on the internet. I'm kind of bummed out that I didn't know about this.

[mracoustik167]

@craigd19 Well, I guess now we don't have to guess who's your favorite anymore :D

[LupinellaSolitaria]

beautiful! Thumbs up!! Greets from Berlin, Germany.

[r3s3t063]

this is WIZARDRY! :)

[ox0Jason0xo]

still cant beleave you said it was the weirdest email youve got have you had anymore weird emails from people? =P

[TheMasterAchim]

Oh wow...haven't seen such a guitar before. How much did you pay for it?

Greetings

[RatioofTime]

Hi Craig, do you know what the tuning would be if you were to play it on a 6 string? I have the tab, and finally the time, just not the tuning. Thanks.

[craigd19]

@RatioofTime If you got the tab from me the tuning should have been written at the top of the first page. Anyway, the tuning is EADGCE.

[abannana1184]

oh man i forgot how much i love this song :)

[TearsOfBlood95]

I absolutely adore this song (:

[justsoicancomment]

This is fabulous! I'm trying to figure it out on 6 string right now. I.love.this.

[NS4270]

I'm happy to see Madi's song done in such a beautiful style. Great job!

[NS4270]

I'm happy to see Madi's song redone in such a beautiful style. Good job!

[jacecrawford]

[OnacraBlood]

Fantastic! This is relax and a dream.

[ZebMacahan]

[DigitalEffect]

your style and technique is so great, your technique especially for fingerpicking is A+++++++++++

[markart]

Beautiful man. Keep up the great work. You're definitely one of my inspirations for focusing on fingerstyle guitar. I'm so glad you and the other candyrat guys put out tabs so we can all attempt to learn your tunes. Best.

[benedikt11]

[janludvigsen]

Amazing Craig! :-)

[edallencompassingly]

[craigd19]

That's exactly what you're seeing

[KawaiiiKumiko]

amaazing :-))

[coldspring100]

[LeathanMilne]

Fantastic stuff Craig.

[FacePaint902]

Also craig if you could post a video of you playing the song crazy is catching i would be very happy :D

[FacePaint902]

I am quite upset that i don't have a seven string guitar :(

[xtheMiSTx]

show me something

shoooow me something

difereeeeeeeeeeeeeent

u do that live sometimes? Спасибо for music!!!

[craigd19]

due to all the requests I will be putting this into 6 string this week. Everyone who emailed me will get a copy. We'll lose a few parts of the arrangement but it'll work fine. sit tight and check your emails on Friday or Saturday (I hope)

[chriscruse1989]

@craigd19 is there a way to get this or buy it?

[craigd19]

For the tab just pm me. The song is not being released as an mp3 or anything like that. This is more for personal enjoyment for me.

[matrap57]

@craigd19

Madi Diaz has a great voice and "Heavy Heart is sure a great song !

Where could we find your tab for this piece ?

Thanks,

Mathieu.

[chriscruse1989]

thats amazing, i just listened to her do this and it was really good, the way you combine it is badass, nice

[chriscruse1989]

ahh yea

[losshack]

Awesome job Craig! Never heard o fher before, I'm buying her music, will your tab arrangement work on 6 strings?

[FlabberFlob]

Soul soothing music at its best.

Staffan

[tarkineWild]

Great tune and so nicely played

Love i t*****

[guitar2adam]

beautiful tone. simple tunes are often the ones i connect to the most. love it

[halfanapkin]

This is really good! And I would like the tabs for it. Unless you meant that I had to pay for them. In which case I will just watch the video 15,000 times until I get it :)

[craigd19]

I just have to finish cleaning it up in powertab. send me a pm so I can remember to send it along when it's done.
