  *Here Comes the Sun* is a great tune.  This 

  arrangement by Rick Ruskin really nails it.

  As example, and before you get into it, give

  measure 19 a shot...sound familiar?  It will

  take some patience to get the fingering down

  but its worth the effort. 

  

  I am concerned that because the record has been

  out of print a long time many will not be able

  to play this.  The good news is that the melody

  is very well known so that will help. A great

  arrangement, it is too bad that Ruskin has 

  never received the recognition he deserves.

  Fingerstyle Guitar magazine has done a lot

  to correct that.   

    

  Playing Notes: (numbers refer to measure)

  

  1. Slow with feeling. Hold the arpeggio

  notes for two beats or more. The rest of

  the tune is up to tempo but not as fast

  as you might think.  Medium pace.

  

  2. A double bass lead...not unlike Blind

  Blake ie., Rick frequently plays two bass

  notes before a melody note.  Two ways to

  do this... two consecutive thumbs or first

  use thumb (6th strg) then index (4th strg).

  I prefer the latter and then play the pinched

  notes with thumb/middle or thumb/middle.

  

  3.  This took me forever to finger smoothly.

  Use ring finger on 6th, middle on 3rd, index

  on 2nd.  Keep ring down and slide down to 

  6th strg, 4th fret. As you do that, shift index

  finger to 3rd strg and move middle to 2nd strg.

  Once middle finger anchored on 3rd fret, 2nd

  keep it there for rest of measure.  Use thumb

  to get 6th strg, 2nd fret. Whew!! A major reason

  why you need to capo on IV...Rick has long 

  fingers!

  

  4.  Feel free to hammer-on the open to 2nd fret

  notes.  This holds true throughout.  Rick does

  not... but what does he know?? :-)     

  If you must, you can use the open 4th strg vice 

  the 4th fret, fourth strg throughout. 

  You will lose alittle by doing so but if it

  helps..go for it.  To get the 4th fret, 4th

  strg you must use the pinky. (well, I

  suppose you could use your nose!!)    

  

  7. I recommend using the index finger on last

  note in prep for open 6th w/thumb in measure 8.

  11.  I use alternating thumb and index on first

  four notes of the chromatic run then two thumbs

  on last two notes.

  

  14.  Use pinky/ring on 7th fret. Keep pinky down

  and slide up to get 3rd fret E7 note lead in.

  

  19.  The Beatles played this part about 6 

  or 7 times as I recall.  I repeat this measure

  several times just to give my left hand a rest.

  If you really get into the tune you will see

  what I mean.

  

  20.  Second half of measure basically the same

  theme as measure 19. Again, some tricky fingering.

  If too hard, just play as noted in 19.

  

  You may want to play more hammer-ons and pulloffs on

  the D chord...ie. the 1st and 3rd strings. As example,

  in measures 2,4,8 etc., try pulloffs vice two separate

  notes on the 1st and 3rd string.
