Suzume 「すずめ」 - RADWIMPS - Suzume no Tojimari (Fingerstyle Guitar) [Tabs]

"Precious memories I can't recall
Emotions I can't express in words
Maybe, just maybe
That's all this heart is capable of"
•·················•·················•
A hauntingly beautiful song from the movie Suzume no Tojimari (すずめの戸締まり). It immediately earned a spot among my top favourites on my first listen.
This has been the most interesting song to arrange a cover for thus far! The original packs so much emotion, and since the song doesn't use traditional band instruments, I had to deviate from my usual approach to arranging to figure out how best to translate the sounds into those I can produce on an acoustic guitar. I had a lot of fun in the process!
Practicing the arrangement to a decent level was a whole other journey of its own. I got a little ambitious and included techniques I'm not familiar with like tapping, various body percussion strikes outside of the familiar wrist thumps, and barre chords (yes, I never had to get familiar with these up till this point), which made this cover many times more difficult than I had originally anticipated.
Of all my covers thus far, this is the one that I've spent the most time and effort on by quite a fair margin. Admittedly, there were many times when I nearly threw in the towel and dropped this thinking I could never pull it off within any reasonable stretch of time. I'm really glad I didn't give up, and I have to say I'm actually pretty proud of this one!
Please enjoy! 😊
