Help with version of "Hallelujah"

[phxguy]

I am trying to learn this version(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdyTXBT5CQE) of hallelujah. It is the one performed by the four Norwegian guys. I am having a bit of a problem getting the guitar picking pattern down. I am still working on it by trying to just use my ears but if anyone would like to chime in and offer some assistance that would be great. I know that for the more experienced players on the forum this is probably a piece of cake but unfortunately I am not quite there yet.

Thank you,
Mike

I've been working on a version of this song as well. It sounds to me like it's an embellished version of what I'm playing. I can't explain their embellishments to you but I can't wait to hear what others have to say.

Hi RedJoker,

I have a finger style version myself that sounds ok but I think this is the nicest accompaniment one I have heard so far. I am really hoping one of the "pros" comes along and with some advice.

Sounds based on the Jeff Buckley version to me (which I have tab for somewhere, but is easily found online).

It doesn't sound too difficult, but what I'd do (if I had the time ) - is use this:

(free for one month - is that enough? )

Start with the Jeff Buckley, and amend as and when necessary.

It sounds to me like a combination of things:
double stops, arpeggios, and hammer-ons.

I noticed the guitar is capoed, just in case that didn't catch your "ear's eye".

Best suggestion I have is to use one of the apps that allows you to change the tempo on a recording (Amazing Slower Downer is the one I use).

With this app, you can dial the tempo as slowly as needed, and, you can focus on just small portions at a time if some parts are more challenging than others.

It's a lovely recording, thanks for posting it!

yours in tune,
