In the second video lesson I will demonstrate some of the features of the instrumental sections of the song to help you understand what is going on there. The first lesson will cover the intro and the verse and chorus sections. There are a few sections where the picking is consistent, but for the most part, it will be about getting the right chords down, and then recreating the picking style that Buckley uses.
Jeff Buckley himself probably wouldn't be able to do that. Because of that, it will be very difficult to get everything down note-for-note. This will make it a bit easier to follow for most people.Īs I mention in the video lesson, Jeff Buckley's picking patterns aren't very consistent in much of the song.
I will then teach the lesson calling out the chords and frets as they are compared to the capo. The guitar parts he plays in "Hallelujah" can be both simple yet effective, to intricate and contrapuntal.Īs for the tuning, you will need to tune your guitar to standard tuning but place a capo at the 5th fret. Jeff Buckley was a great guitarist and singer. However, it is Jeff Buckley's haunting cover of the song that is the most widely known, even reaching the top of the Billboard Hot Digital Songs charts in 2008 some 11 years years after Buckley's tragic death. "Hallelujah" was written and performed by Leonard Cohen and originally released on his 1984 album Various Positions. In this Hallelujah guitar lesson series, I will show you how to play all the guitar chords to this incredibly beautiful song as performed by Jeff Buckley.
