Zo speel je dit nummer
Leer de akkoorden van The Boxer van Editors op Gitaartabs. Dit alternatieve rocknummer uit 2009 van het album In This Light and on This Evening is een perfecte introductie in de gitaarakkoorden van de band, met een herkenbaar en toegankelijk arpeggio-patroon dat je snel onder de vingers krijgt.
Dit nummer ligt op beginner-niveau en vraagt om capo 2. Je werkt met de akkoorden C/E, D, Am, Em en Bm in een akoestisch akkoorden-format. Met deze basis kun je meteen meegespeeld krijgen; zet je capo op twee en start met het eerste akkoord — je bent zo in het lied.
How to practise this song
- 1
Put your capo on fret 2
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
- 2
Practise the barre chord Bm
Bm is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open - 3
Practise the change: Bm ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.
Open - 4
Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
