Song for the Painter Lyrics
Song For The Painter - Lost In The Trees
Email: deus.est.nos@gmail.com
Killer simple as far as I can tell, but I probably couldn't have figured it out
a year or so ago when I was firmly in "beginner with no ears stage," so I thought
I'd share.
It's in 4/4, and the chords are C, Am, F, and G.
During the verses, it's consistently one full four-beat measure of C, then one of
Am, then two beats F, two beats G, and two beats C again before starting over into the
next verse.
The picking pattern is a great one to start with for folks who're having a hard time
with finger independence, as it's only the thumb and the index+middle fingers plucking
in tandem, like so:
F G C etc.
| h hammer-on
The song starts with just the C pattern being played for quite a while, but when the
verses come in this is the approximate context:
this song is for the painter
who lost both of her hands
and this song is for the wanderer who
never came home again
As usual, listen to the song itself for a better sense of timing.
And, as always, all comments, questions, and criticisms are welcome and encouraged.
