The Rose

come about tis song from bette midler(very nice name) still alive tho. titled The Rose, it's one of those melodies tat you listen to it and weep on the inside, touching ur heart saying, "It's beautiful..." You then listen to it over and over again.

Heard: main melody, C, F, G...simple...it's a 3 verse, no chorus song, b4 the last chord sequence, it has a Em n Am...so damn simple to play along to...

it ends with a C chord...u can strum it rhythmically to make it sound "ended" or u can do a simple pinky trick to capture the feel...

either (V for downstrum, A for upstrum)
V V
----0----0~--
----1----0~--

----2----2~--

Tis here is really easy, just lift ur index, strum half speed and shake the entire guitar.

Some might find going higher abit weird to end but it covers up nicely as the B string is at a different set of intervals. Think of tis ending as if wif piano accompanied or if wif drums, it ends wif a roll on the cymbals, whereas the first ending is for those bassier drum endings or voice shouts.

Quickie
Another tip i picked up from Mr Justin Sandercoe from youtube. When u play songs on chords, try this tuning

f---
C---
G---
D---
A---
E---
And play barred chords instead of open tunings. when you are playing where the root note is on the low E string(eg: F to B chord usually), let the bottom 2 strings ring. and when you are playing wif the root note on the A string(eg: B to E chords) play it tis way...
g c
f-0--0-
C-0--4-
G-4--5-
D-5--5-
A-5--3-
E-3----

This way, the notes will have a nice acoustical ring to it.
