Hallelujah Chorus (Handel) – guitar arrangement

Feel free to check out this post to learn how to finger pick on guitar if you need help using this technique.

The numbers next to some notes on the top staff indicate which fingers to use on the fretting hand.

This arrangement is in drop D tuning, meaning you lower the 6th string to a D note instead of an E.
