Hallelujah Chorus (Handel) – guitar arrangement
In this section, we cover a fingerpicking arrangement of the song. If needed, check out this post to learn how to finger pick on guitar.
The numbers next to some notes on the top staff indicate which fingers to use on the fretting hand.
This arrangement has a drop D tuning, meaning you lower the 6th string to a D note instead of an E.
