Break Free – Hillsong United

By admin | April 16, 2008

This is the best guitar tab and instructional video I have found for this song.  This is the most accurate tutorial I have found for this possible song.   Although Break Free has been done by Hillsong, I think the United version is the most solid.  It may take a little work but with this video and tab, I’m sure you can get all the parts to the song.  This is what I used to learn it.


Intro/Verse:
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--  

----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
---4---4-6~----4---4-6~-------------
-5---5--------5---5-------------------
----------------------------------------
~ = vibrato. You have to mute the strings with your
fretting hand and rake across them with your pick in
between the above riff as well. To mute the strings,
rest your fretting hand lightly on the strings, such
that you get a 'pluck' sound, but not the note.  

Prechorus:
-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
-2-2-2-2~-2-2-2-2~-2-2-2-
Accent the notes when 'break free' is sung. You can
substitute '0' for the '2's in bold.  

------------------------
------------------------
------------------------
-4-4--6-6---4-4--6-6--
-5-5--5-5---5-5--5-5--
------------------------  

Chorus:
The chords are:
A D E F#m D  

Bridge:
This part is quite tricky (and tiring). You picking hand has to
strum all the way, 4 times each beat (1234,2234,3234,4234, etc...).
Your fretting hand mutes the strings by default, and presses down
on the notes when you need the notes to sound out. You also need
to listen carefully to the rhythm in the CD.. I suspect mine has
inaccuracies.  

For the instrumental part, strum these two chords:
---------------
-14-----17-----
-14-----16-----
-14-----14-----
---------------
---------------  

Use these chords when the singing enters:
---------------
-14-----15-----
-14-----14-----
-14-----14-----
---------------
---------------

Home – Hillsong

Here is the video and tabs for the Hillsong song Home.  Definitely one of the best tutorials out there for this hard to find song.   It’s played in the key of F-sharp but is made easy by capo-ing up two frets.

Tuning: Standard (Capo 2nd Fret)

From God Above – Hillsong United

By admin | April 12, 2008

This is the most correct tab and video I have found anywhere for this difficult song.   This is exactly how I played this song at my last church and it sounded tight.  I know a lot of guitarists have had some problems with this song so this should set you straight.  You will need tune your guitar down a half step to play along with this but when playing live, it sounds great in standard tuning.

- Use harmonics for all the notes.
- The first 7 notes are to be quickly alternate picked 4 times each.
-------------7--7-7-5-------
-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------      

- Here, use harmonics only for the first 6 notes.
- The first 6 notes are to be quickly alternate picked 4 times each.
- The other notes are to be plucked normally, and picked twice each.
-------------------9-10-----
-7-7-7-7-7-7--9-10----------
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------      

Pre-Chorus
---------------------9---------
------------------10---10-(x2)-
-9h11-9~-(x4)--11--------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------      

------9----12-10-9----------
---10---10---------10-------
-9--------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------
----------------------------      

---------------------9------------
------------------10---10-(x4)-10-
-9h11-9~-(x4)--11-----------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------      

Bridge:
----------------------------------
-12-12s14-14----------10-12-9-----
-----------------9-11---------11--
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------      

-------------------------------------
-10-(x8)--10-(x8)-10-(x8)-10-(x8)-10-
-11-------9-------11------9-------11-
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------      

----------------------------------
-10-(x8)--10-(x8)-10-(x8)-10-(x8)- (x2)
-11-------9-------11------9-------
