Justin Vernon- Song For a Lover of Long Ago (Acoustic Cover)

Ok, so Justin has made just an outstanding song in Song For a Lover (in my opinion), although pretty much all his music is awesome. I couldn't find any tabs for this song, so I had a go at working it out myself, so there may be major errors, and I just couldn't work out the intro, my bad.

Hopefully it's not too bad, I do really enjoy playing the song and I think it probably has meaning for a lot of people. I also don't seek to claim any rights to it btw, obviously I don't want to get on the wrong side of copyright law!

If you have an opinion on my video, please leave some feedback! Constructive criticism is preferable to just criticism, but if the song warrants it then fair enough! And I do have a few other songs, so if you want to check them out that would be super cool :)

Ciao x

@9EricR I'm guessing you're not a fan :P

Great stuff man. This song is just amazing and you sure did it justice. Thanks a lot for the tab, I'll enjoy playing this song.

@MarreFrusciante Thanks man, really glad you think I did it justice. Like you say, its an awesome song

[NarrowJoy]

You've done a very nice job on this song. I would love to learn how to play this. What is the finger-picking pattern that you're using?

[whiteluke]

@NarrowJoy The verse goes (Thumb= T, Index = I, Middle= M) T I M T I M T I M T I M T M T M

It is normally based upon that, but varies a bit for the other segments of the song

I've tabbed it out, which you can find at the ultimate-guitar website

Hopefully my tabbing isn't terrible and that should show you how to do it. I'm sure if you listen to the song and have the tabs in front of you, it'll be easy to work out. Let me know if I can be of any more help :)

hey man could you put a tutorial of this up. im finding really hard to put every thing together and the pickin and all.

cheers

[NarrowJoy]

@whiteluke That was an insanely quick response. Thank you!

@tomlebom2 Thanks very much! I'm fairly certain the tab has been approved and can now be seen on the site, so feel free to check it out.
