Tu Hai-Guitar Lesson

Taught by Steve Luciano, this lesson breaks down how to play Tu Hai on guitar. The song uses a beautiful chord progression: C, Am7, Fmaj6,9, which gives it a warm, open sound. The Fmaj6,9 chord (played as xx3210) adds a jazzy, dreamy quality that fits the song’s spiritual mood. The strumming is soft and flowing, matching the gentle rhythm of the original track.

The verse follows a C - Am7 - Fmaj6,9 - C pattern, with each chord held for two bars. The strumming should be light—mostly downstrokes with a relaxed feel, letting the notes ring. The chorus introduces slight variations, with the Am7 sometimes replaced by G/B for a smoother transition. The key is to keep the playing fluid and unhurried, as the song moves at a slow, reflective pace.

For the melody, the song mostly uses the C major scale (C-D-E-F-G-A-B), with occasional slides and light vibrato to add expression. The guitar can mimic the vocal lines by playing simple, sustained notes with careful phrasing. The Fmaj6,9 chord is essential—it gives the song its unique, floating quality, so practice switching into it smoothly from Am7.

Beginners should focus on the chord shapes and slow strumming first. Intermediate players can work on adding arpeggios (plucking individual strings) to match the song’s delicate feel. Advanced players can experiment with fingerstyle patterns to bring out the melody within the chords.
