Hey guys, what's going on?
Happy banjo dude [Ab] here back with another lesson this week some more a bit brothers
We're gonna be covering swept away.
Now.
[B] This one goes out [C] to one of my Skype students Aaron Jordan
He actually had [Ab] me transcribe the song for him because he's going to play it on his wedding day for his new wife.
So
[N] Isn't that sweet?
Maybe write a comment for Aaron wishing him a happy new life with his new wife.
Great guy pretty simple song
Open G tuning click on the link get all that tab follow along
The only thing to watch out for is in the tab
You'll see a little diamond every once in a while and you might be wondering HPD
What does a diamond above some notes mean and all that means is a harmonic?
Which is where you just hover your finger above a fret and you don't actually press down
You just touch the string and it'll occur most of the time on the 12th fret and that's where it is in the song
So I'm just gonna hover my finger right on the fret on the 12th fret just [G] touching the strings
And I get that nice little kind of harp like sound so again right on the fret not in the middle
You'll just get the dead string if you just hover touch the string right on the fret get that nice sound
So that's the only thing to watch out for
The song is pretty straightforward
So I'm gonna play through the first page slow and then I'll play along with the whole song.
Here we go swept away
