Before I Wake by I Fight Dragons This song is awesome!!! This song has a very awesome chord structure. It seems the same most of the way through the song, but the changes in the chorus and the last interlude could throw you if you're not careful. It doesn't follow general pop music perfectly, but it sounds awesome regardless. The need to know to play this song: -Regular tuning -Finger picking throughout is important with a lot of emphasis on the bass note of each chord -If you're singing this then you should also note how some of the verses start after beat one but you start the chord on beat one. -When I say "hold" I mean to play the chord and let ring until you go to the next chord -Listen to the song and play along a few times and you'll get it in the end! A recommendation: -I recommend bar chords for the softer more muted texture and fuller bass sound, but it's up to your taste. Here's my fingering for the F#m/C# that works well. When you get to the regular F#m just play it the regular way.
