This song showcases a blend of chords and a simple yet expressive intro/interlude
riff that adds depth to the track. The riff is a great way for beginners to practice
finger movement and picking accuracy. The chord progressions are straightforward,
making it a perfect song for those looking to practice chord transitions and rhythm.
Intro & Interludes:
The intro and interludes feature a specific tab that outlines a melody played over
the chords D, G, Em, and A. This melody provides a melodic theme that's revisited
throughout the song, especially after the choruses.
Tab Explanation:
The tab starts on the D chord, transitioning through G and Em, ending on A before
returning to D.
The melody involves hammer-ons, slides, and picking individual notes, primarily
on the D (4th) and A (5th) strings.
Practice this part slowly at first to get the timing and transitions smooth, especially
the hammer-ons from open to 2nd fret on the A string and the slides from 2nd to
4th fret (and back) on the D string.
Verses:
The verses use a simple chord progression that allows the vocals to stand out.
Chord Progression: D, G, Em, A
Start with the D major chord, then transition to G major, followed by E minor,
and finally A major.
This progression is played for each line of the verses, providing a stable
harmonic foundation for the lyrics.
Pre-Chorus:
The pre-chorus introduces a momentary build-up leading into the chorus.
Chord Progression: D, G, Em, followed by a N.C. (no chord) before the chorus.
This section emphasizes the anticipation of the chorus, with the last line sung
without any guitar accompaniment, heightening the impact of the upcoming chorus.
Chorus:
The chorus is where the song's emotional weight is fully realized, with the chord
progression reinforcing the theme of continuous falling in love.
Chord Progression: D, G, Em, A
Repeat this progression for each line of the chorus.
The repetition of this progression mirrors the lyrical theme of endlessly falling for
someone, with the chords providing a lush backdrop.
Playing Tips:
For the intro and interludes, focus on clean execution of the riff. Use alternate
picking for efficiency and clarity in the faster parts.
During the verses and choruses, maintain a steady rhythm, possibly employing a
simple down-up strumming pattern that matches the song's tempo and feel.
The pre-chorus's N.C. moment is a great opportunity to emphasize the vocals,
so pull back on your playing to create a dynamic contrast.
Pay attention to the emotional content of the lyrics when playing. The chord
progressions are designed to support the song's storytelling, so let them guide
your strumming intensity and dynamics.
