How To Play Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard/Marketa Irglova

I had a few requests for this song so I thought I'd give it a shot. I loved ONCE so much. If you have not seen it yet, I strongly suggest that you do.

***In the video I mixed up the G and the B string. So when I say the G string, I actually mean the B string and the other way around***

Here are the chords used in the song:

INTRO:
-X30210, XX3210, X33210

Pre-Chorus:
-X02210, 3x003x, X33210

Watch the video for the finger picking as I explain it in detail.

Thanks for watching,

These lessons are great! They help a crappy beginner like me a lot! How did you teach yourself to play?

[TecumsehBand]

when i started out, i learned with tabs. after a while i could pick up some notes by ear. then i just kept practicing really. thanks for watching.

@thejays00 @5:51, when on Aminor pluck strings A, then B, then highE, then G. Then when on "The Funky G lol" pluck strings lowE&B together

[thejays00]

Can't understand what your doing at 5.51, hard to see what strings you are plucking??????
