Sunshine Adagio In D Minor by John Murphy
Sunshine Adagio In D Minor
Capo:no capo
BPM: ~60,
Standart Tuning
It's exactly 4:30 minutes long and it will help you adjust. I wrote some
timestamps on significant
parts of the song to make orientation easier.
[For all parts]
You can play either two times the same chord in a row:
e|19--19|
h|15--15|
g|-x---x|
d|17--17|
a|------|
e|------|
[or you may play this]
e|19--17|
h|15--15|
g|-x---x|
d|17--17|
a|------|
e|------|
What you do is really up to you, but I tend to the latter one. It sounds nicer,
but not exactly like the
record (the first one does neither). I think this is due to layering of violins
in
the original soundtrack,
something you can't do with one guitar. The only time the second option actually
is the only valid one is
in the part "Melody begins again" below, I marked it with a *.

In general, you can experiment with these tabs as much as you like. There are
many
nuances in this song that
are accessible by changing for example a muted string into a note you find more
fitting in context of the whole
chord, or simply to add a more full "ring" to the sound. Furthermore, you may,
towards the end of the
song, ignore some of the lower notes. But that's really your decision.
I tried my best with this tab, I hope you appreciate it - sadly, the full
potential of this song really
needs an orchestra, with multiple layers of string instruments that fill the air
with their constant
humming.
