Acoustic Steel String And Classical Guitar - And Guitar TAB
This is Tomi Paldanius doing a cover of Bon Jovi's song Livin On A Prayer. We get to see Tomi play first on his Steel String Acousti Guitar and then we get to hear how it sounds on a Classical Guitar with the nylon strings.
I actually found the tabs for this song on my computer. It was in the Tommy Emmanuel folder. The name caught my eye because Livin On A Prayer is a song by the hard rock band Bon Jovi and this song is found on their album called Slippery When Wet. So I didn't expect Tommy Emmanuel to have made an acoustic arrangement for this song because I have never seen Tommy Emmanuel play this song.
I have started out picking on this song now a bit and it's not that hard to learn. It will take some time and practice however.
You might find it hard if you don't have any fingerstyle songs under you're belt. But if you already know songs like. Windy and Warm, Old Fashioned Love Song, Day tripper or Lady Madonna to name a few songs that are fingerstyle.
You should be able to master this pretty quick because you would already have that finger independence needed to be able to play this.
Tomi have more videos that are instructional and he will go through all the parts of the song with you also. If you like to download the tabs for this song you can find that here. I uploaded a PDF with the song.
Tommy Emmanuel - Livin On A Prayer - Acoustic Great Guitar Sound TAB
One "chord" made is a bit difficult because you need to spread you're fingers pretty wide. I'm sure you notice it on the video also. You need to be able to press down both E strings at the 3rd and 7th fret at the same time. So a pretty wide stretch. It can be done just need to practice and get used to it.
And like Tomi say in the video, and remember, have fun.
