Please Be My Strength Gungor
There is a marked lack of tabs (or chords) for this song online, so I decided to
try my hand at a transcription. I used this for a guitar class at my University.
This is the picking pattern I use, the beats appearing on the top two rows and the
fingerings on the bottom two:
[1]/ [+].([2]/)[+]. [3]/ [+].([4]/)[+]. [1]/
[4] [23] [4] [4] [23] [4] [4]
[1] [1] [1] [1] [1]
In the actual recording, the pattern changes from verse to chorus, but I haven't
yet figured it out. The above transcription is truly only half of the verse
fingering, but I play it throughout and it sounds good enough, if not entirely
authentic. Gungor himself is much more melodic in his playing; but this chord
sheet should fit the bill until a more talented guitarist comes along and improves
it. Happy Playing!
