Now I've got Happy Birthday to slip in somewhere too. I've got at least 4 songs that I play, when ending in C or D I might finish off in Jingle Bells - Naudo style. Yep, it's not suprising, the guitar is just an extension of yourself, and we are all different. But now I realise that everyone plays a piece totally in their own style - even if they are playing note for note the same thing. Funny, and yet not suprising.I used to think, a long time ago, in terms of the ability to play a piece say from a tab, and that everyone who practised enough would basically be playing it the same once they are there. Yep, Iggy is great - his talent is on par with Naudo's, his style is quite different though - even though he is playing the "same style". oh and make sure you throw in the heavy vibrato on the end note of "And many more." I love a bit of comedy in guitar playing, it's not easy to put comedy into guitar playing, so anywhere you can do it you should! :) The rest should be easy for a fingerstyler.don't worry about running up the fret board for the last G and C chord if you don't want to as with all tabs, make them your own!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINGERSTYLE FULL
Then clamp down the barre for the full F in the same measure. The Fb5 chord may throw you - do it as and F barre chord but don't lay your first finger for the full bar, just fret the low 6, leave the top strings un-barred. I do this sort of mini-barre quite often so it comes reasonably natural to me.

Only two parts may cause you some frustration: in the first two bars I'm holding a C shape but I bend my second finger backwards to fret the A second fret third string. It's short, mostly in chords, and easily remembered. Fear not, I dusted off some old notes, did a cross check with other tabs on the net (many had parts that I liked but none were enough by themselves.besides, nobody should ever play a tab exactly as someone else has written it! :)) I couldn't even remember the chords!īasically if you ever play to an audience you need to keep "happy birthday" in your bag of tricks, because it will come up. A few weeks ago I did the same winery gig that I did last year, and something happened that I had planned for many years ago, but hadn't kept up with - it was someone's brithday and I got a request to play "Happy Birthday".
