Pensamientos - Michael Menrath My song was inspired by Metallica's Nothing Else Matters, it's in the key of E minor and has a 12/8 beat. I think it is a good excercise for the right hand, especially the a-m-i fingering on one guitar string, so just try it! You can send me any improvements, comments or questions to my e-mail - MichaelMenrath@gmx.de The ">>" sign means to emphasize this note strongly and ">" just a bit The left-hand fingering is shown beneath the Tab-lines Use the a-m-i fingers to play three following notes like 7-5-3 each note is a 1/8 note except two of a D-major chord (see the tab) >> > > > >> > > > E||-7--------7--------7--5--3--7--5--3--|-5--------5--------5--3--2--5--3--2--| B||----0--------0-----------------------|----0--------0-----------------------| G||-------0--------0--------------------|-------0--------0--------------------| D||-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| A||-------------------------------------|-------------------------------------| E||-0-----------------------------------|-0-----------------------------------| p+a-m-i a-m-i a-m-i a-m-i sim. a-m-i 4 4 3 1 (it hurts,I know!) 4 4-2-1 (much easier!) >> > > > > > |--3--------3--------3--2--0--3--2--0--|--0--------0-----------------0--------| |-----0--------0-----------------------|-----0--------0-----------0-----------| |--------0--------0--------------------|--------0--------0-----0--------------| |--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------|--------------------------------0--2--| |--0-----------------------------------|--------------------0-----------------| >> C-major >> D three 1/8 notes!!
