Boy 8-Bit - Suspense is Killing me (DwD How can it be so short Edit)
Is there an acoustic player not searching for Hey There Delilah tabs? Probably, but most are. It was quite a hit for the Plain White T's. As an acoustic guitar teacher, I have taught this song to tons of students. One of the things I think is great about this tune is the simplicity of it. It's easy for the students to learn and since everyone in the world has heard it, people want to her them play it.
Hey There Delilah tabs also can teach you some cool voicings and moving bass notes. The F#- chord (second chord in the song) is a voicing that most students don't learn. It is a small 3 not voicing instead of the big bar chord. Also exposing students to B- chords can be pretty tough sometimes because they don't want to practice it. It is a difficult chord, so often times the student will skip it just a bit. But with the inspiration of learning it in the tune, it always gets practiced.
The middle section of the tunes is where the guitar player uses a moving bass line between chords. This is a good thing to expose acoustic guitar players to because it teaches them some ways to spice up there accompanying skills. It teaches them to not just sit back and strum mindlessly while the vocals are passing by. They get to play cool stuff and stay out of the way of the singer. Very important!
The rhythm of the tune is simple and constant. This lets the player stay focused on the chords her or she is learning and not have to worry about strum patterns and stops and varying rhythms.
Another great thing about this song is it sounds great with one guitar, but also with 2-3 guitars playing the song together. It's a great song to improvise over so it lends itself to a good jam. So if you are looking for something new that maybe you wouldn't have normally tried, give this one a shot. The internet is loaded with sites that will have Hey There Delilah tabs.
