The chord progression repeats three times and then on the fourth repeat, the D bar at the end changes as the full D chord is played on Beat one and rings out for the duration of the bar, leaving the vocals somewhat isolated before we come back in with the following section. The bass notes are still to be performed with the thumb and the higher notes are still performed with a combination of whatever fingers works best for you. Try both options and see what works for you. It was also a hit internationally, reaching the top forty in several countries.Īs for the performance, it’s up to you if you want to a) fret the whole chord for each bar or b) fret just the required notes. It wasn’t the band’s first single, but it was their first hit as it reached number three on the UK singles chart in the year 1982. It was written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith. Mad world was originally by the band Tears for Fears. If you want to step outside of the box and do something different, this is the guitar lesson for you. The soft vocal performance and gentle instrumentation are very pleasant, and it translates very nicely to the guitar. I’ve always loved the Gary Jules cover of Mad World. It’s the run up to Christmas so I simply had to teach a past Christmas number one hit (UK chart), but I didn’t want to pick something obvious. This isn’t a guitar recording, but I’ll be showing you how to play it on guitar. We’re learning something close to the Gary Jules cover version of the song.
In this guitar lesson, we will be looking at the Mad World TAB. We’re doing something a little different this week.
