Postcards From Italy

Biography:

Beirut is an American indie-rock and world music band which was originally the solo musical project of Zach Condon (born Zachary Francis Condon in Santa Fe, New Mexico) and later expanded into a band. The band's first performances were in New York, in May 2006, to support the release of their debut album, Gulag Orkestar.

Condon recorded before Beirut was established: when he was fifteen and under the name of Realpeople, he made an electronic record, fashioned after his love for The Magnetic Fields.

Alternatives for this artist

There are 2 halves to this song.

1st half

F and A are repeated over and over, I recommend seeing the vidio for strumming pattern.It's pretty easy to pick up from there

The hammers

I will give the example on F

1| | | 1| |o|

3|o| | Then 3|o| | x4 } All of this x3

Then add

1| | |o| 1| |o| 1| | 1| |o|

3|o| | | 3|o| | 3|o| 3|o| |

You do the same for A but move from the 3rd string to the 2nd to make an A shape

2nd Half

the second half starts towards the end of the instrumental piece, between the 2nd and 3rd verses. the second half is a repeat of 4 chords

Bbadd9 , F , Dm , C

Again I recommend looking at the video for strumming patterns as they change a little throughout the later half of the song.
