Jingle Bells

Played 20091222: At first, I decided the tab would be more useful if I spaced it out closer to how the actual count of the notes was. I could have used the Q,H,E,S notation, but decided not to (Quarter, Half, Eighth, Sixteenth Note, respectively). What I did do here was indicate if I used my fingers (#), strum a chord down (_), or strum a chord up (^). It's unconventional, but I'm doing this mainly for me. After practicing the pre-tabbed melody, I added other voices to give the tab some thickness.

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song

Image
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/b/bruno_mars/the_lazy_song_crd_992284id_01102010date.htm With this tab, strum up twice on each chords. Except perhaps the occasional need to strum four times. Strumming down works. Or sometimes strumming to imitate the whistling works. I didn't want to go through and memorize it at the moment because I didn't want to spend to much time feeling it out. But the chorus is B F# E repeated three times and then B D#m E. The song appears to be in the key of B major. B C# D# E F# G# A#. The tab writes Ebm instead of D#m.

Nolwenn Leroy - Song of the Sea (Lullaby)

Chord Analysis: Key C Progression a : I vi V vi I vi V V Progression a': I vi V vi I vi V I Progression b : [iii] IV I I V IV I V V Progression b': [iii] IV I I V IV I V I Verse 1: Prog a / Prog a' (single strum per chord) Chorus: Prog b / Prob b' (single strum with a few notes following) Verse 2: Same as Verse 1 (single strum with several notes following) Chorus Bridge: IV I I IV Chorus (Instrumental) Chorus Outro: I vi I [20150921][20191223 Edit] I found information here on the word "stóirín": Mo stoirín (pronounced mu store -een) This is translated as my “little darling”. Stór is the Irish word for my love/my darling so by adding the een onto the end it becomes my little darling.

Everclear - Wonderful

Played 20100101: This was an easy enough song, that before looking at the tab, I knew the first chord is G, and that the key was in G, and that the other two chords would be D and C, and was pretty sure on the G D C D progression. But not entirely. Though I knew it didn't sound like Brown-Eyed Girl, so it wasn't a G C G D progression. And the music was lively enough to not contain an Am or Em. The Dsus4 does sound better than the D, but I wonder if it should replace the second D as well. G Dsus4 C Dsus4 instead of the below G Dsus4 C D. ::shrug:: If just playing the guitar part as done in the song, the strumming is Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum, Strum Strum... where the two strums are strumming one chord from the previous and then the next, i.e., G, G D, D C, C D, D G, etc. But when playing alone, or with only guitars, it's better to be a little creative to fill in the blanks. I seem to be doing D D D DU UD. But I don't know how that's happening because I'm
