Read me?

I once heard this song covered by a girl 'Loona' from the netherlands but I think its originally a 'Mecano' song.

Just heard the song (now that Mecano-version) and played it, I have no tabs, sorry.
But this might help:

Basically you can play the song in 'a' like this:

Intro and verses (very simple):
a-G-F-G

Bridge (give it some try):
a-G-F-G a-G-C-D

Chorus (perhaps not that easy at first):
e-D-C-H
e-D-C-h7
e-D-C-H
e-D-C-h7
(ahaha ahaha...)
e-h7-e-D-C
(hijo de la luna-aa...)
F-G-a

If you like singing it like Mecano, use a capodaster (is it called 'capodaster' in english? I'm not sure. I'm from germany) and transpond it 4 semitones up (a becomes cis , but with the capodaster you play like a. thats all the trick).

Anything I've forgotten?
Any tips against possible mistakes in my english texts? ;)
Just let me know.

And please don's ask for tabs.. just try out a little and have fun playing... thats the best advice possible I think...

Please share your opinion!

And of course, you can use this video as a backing track to sing on it. Please post it as a response afterwards and I'll look forward to hear you sing.

It's Nynke21 singing with this instrumental as backing track. I think, she's very talented and I like her singing a lot!

Also be sure to subscribe to my channel, since more videos will follow, also non-covers.. I have some funny ideas of what needs to be played with the guitar...!

  • Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful WONDERFUL! Guitar cover! I have been looking for a guitar cover like this, it blows my mind how amazing some people are! Thank you so much for putting time and effort into learning this song because it is extravagant and unlike any other cover!

  • @sugarqueen98 Thanks for your nice comment! Appreciated. Your welcome, I like putting up the little work (how I experience it) and the great joy (how I experience it ;D ) to learn playing a song as beautiful as "hijo de la luna". Kind reagrds

  • @imperezo

    ich denke das sind Nylon Saiten. Mein Gitarrist nutzt solche schwarzen Nylons... das klingt ähnlich. Dazu noch der relativ kleine Korpus der Gitarre... ich denk das kann hin kommen. Metall ist es meiner Meinung nach nicht. Grüßle.

  • schwarze Nylons?

    Wenn mich nicht alles täuscht, sollten da "normale", also durchsichtige Nylons drauf sein... es sei denn durch eine Verschiebung des Raum-Zeit-Kon... na, Ihr wisst schon... nein, da sind normale Saiten srauf und der Korpus der Gitarre ist 4/4-Größe, also eine 65er Mensur, normale Größe. Ich hoffe, das hilft weiter.

  • @VillaDesAnimaux glaub schon hab drei jahre klassik gemacht und das hört sich etwas anders an

  • Hallo, imperezo und ViallDesAnimaux,

    die von mir verwendeten Saiten in diesem Stück sind keine Stahlsaiten. Ich hab Saiten für klassische Gitarren drauf, nutze hauptsächlich Savarez-Saiten, hard tension - bin soweit ganz zufrieden mit diesen. Ich hoffe, das hilft nun weiter :)

  • i saw this just when it was put out and now 4 years later, i've watched almost about every cover of this song on youtube and still and will be the best cover ever.. love it!

  • :3 è magnifico! You cannot imagine how happy have you made me xDDD

  • Can you make a lesson ? since no1 else did on ytube :) pls

  • Es una delicia!!! Escucharte....musica clasica relaja el alma...exito....un besote!!!!

  • Tu técnica es mejorable, tu sonido puede ser mas lleno y redondo si limas tus uñas en forma circular y el ataque debe ser de empuje, de modo que la guitarra tenga un mejor sonido, luego debes asentar los matices imaginarios.. espero que te sirva de algo

  • I love you O.O
