One Direction “Half A Heart” Guitar Tab

One Direction  "Half A Heart"  Guitar Tab

Play along-




The auto scroll speed is tricky because it's both a tab (Fast) and chords (slow),
so some adjusting between verses will be needed I'm sure.

*NOTE*
*Pay attention to the numbers in the ( )'s next to the chords. This is how many
 times that chord pattern is picked.  Play along with the song to get the timing 
 down. :)

    1. HI Krystal :) Here’s an easy strumming pattern-

      D(short pause) dudu, D(short pause) dudu, D(short pause) dudu… and so on throughout.

      So- the first ‘Down’ is right on the chord change with a short pause, then a ‘down’ ‘up’ ‘down’ ‘up’ and then back to the ‘Down’ – short pause, then ‘down’ ‘up’ ‘down’ ‘up’ . The next ‘Down’ would be on the next chord change. I believe it’s two sets (like I’ve written) per chord, but it may be different in the chorus. However it will still be this same pattern- D..dudu D..dudu. Play along with the song to get the timing :) I hope this helps!

      Christy LLG♥
