Backing Track
John’s notes;
This global hit is right up there with the greatest of ‘power
ballads’, Beautifully sung and recorded by Celine Dion
and covered by artists like Jennifer Rush and so many
more!
My arrangement is in the original key of Ab/Fm. I have
tried to keep it simple but worthy of learning because of
the numerous ‘techniques’ I’ve included. Some students
will recognise many of them i.e bends, hammers, pull
off’s, slides etc. Practicing the chords is a worthwhile
challenge too!
The thing to concentrate on with an emotional ballad like
this is the ‘feel’ in which you play each phrase. Some
quiet (especially the fills) and some louder. This is called
applying dynamics to your playing - very important, and
takes practice!
Lead Guitar

TAB & ‘one to one’ tuition
available to members
Rhythm Guitar supplies the background harmony
whether on it’s own or with other instruments. Practice
along with the Backing Track on the website first to get
your chord changes and timing ‘spot on’ before playing
along with the melody (either a singer or instrument).
NOTE: The rhythm guitar would not normally be played
this loud. It would be mixed withinin the backing
harmony. This video is for lesson purpose only.
