Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Hey, this is Dáire. Just got Together Forever for Christmas. :) Love it so much I'm
showing the world a few of the songs as I figure them out. :D
This is Be With You by Rick Astley, great song if you're into this sorta thing. :)
OK, Firstly, this is sorta more a piano song so it won't sound properly right on guitar
anyway but I'm doing my best, so no comments saying "Wow you screwed this up big time"
K? Also, it's an upbeat kind of song, so put some life into it! :D
I play this song with barre chords to zip into the riff below since I'm doing it on my
own, but it sounds alright with open chords. :L
First comes first: Throughout the verse you'll hear a sort of bass-y riff thing. I've
got it tabbed out for 6 string guitar since it's insanely easy:
D|-5-5-5 -5-5--|
A|-3-3-3--3-3--|
E|--------5-3--|
Just repeated under the main verse so if you want you can have someone do that while a
piano plays the actual thing like the original.
Intro: You'll figure out how this works by listening to it. It's to imitate the trumpets.
