The Girl Who Fell from the Sky - DADGAD Fingerstyle Guitar - (Joe Hisaishi arr. Will McNicol) - TAB

[@will_mcnicol]

Happy New Year, folks! This is one of my favourite tunes from the Ghibli universe. Let me know in the comments what yours are - I may try and get another one arranged this year =) TAB available here if any guitarists out there fancy giving it a bash: www.willmcnicol.co.uk/laputa

[@StringsAtHome]

Happy new year!
I mean, anything Ghibli is amazing, but princess mononoke being my all-time favourite movie and soundtrack.

[@h89a]

The composer, Joe Hisaishi, and the world view of Studio Ghibli came through perfectly. Great performance, from Japan.

[@AmiraSmyrna]

My wifes carousel from Temu brought me here! 😂 so glad it did!! ❤

[@petromoderne]

Your piece here is gorgeous, it pulls on the heartstrings

[@will_mcnicol]

Ah thanks very much =)

[@donsanni1865]

I keep coming back to this version, exquisite tone and phrasing, beautiful arrangement, and impeccably played. It doesn't get better than this.

[@will_mcnicol]

Thanks so much, Don - really appreciate that.

[@martinthomson4613]

Spot on. Perfection.

[@benkingify]

By far the best thing I’ve heard on a guitar for a very long time ❤

[@will_mcnicol]

@@benkingify Very kind of you to say, Ben - thank you!

[@Drew_Anderson]

what a haunting melody, in the best way possible.... beautifully played

[@will_mcnicol]

Cheers Drew!

[@muopos]

Whoa

[@tulyar57]

Beautiful performance and didn't realise DADGAD could evoke something so poignant. The tone fooled me at first. I thought it was nylon strung until I saw the zero fret and realised it was a Fylde. Lovely.

[@will_mcnicol]

I love soft steel strong tones, and this Fylde Ariel of mine does that rather well. Thanks for listening!

[@yhogatimurlaga9936]

Amaziiing

[@petromoderne]

What a masterpiece, absolutely wonderful.

[@will_mcnicol]

@@petromoderne Thanks very much!

[@pwiegardt]

Beautiful arrangement! I'm putting this on my list of DADGAD songs to learn.

[@will_mcnicol]

Thanks! Hope you enjoy!

[@Hefdaily]

Oh man that is gorgeous. I saw one of your earlier videos playing this when you demo’ing a Tom Sands guitar and last night I said to myself “tomorrow I need to find that tab”. And now I’ve woken up to this.
Incredible playing. Just gorgeous. Really gets me.

[@will_mcnicol]

Thanks so much. Got the TAB available from here now: willmcnicol.co.uk/laputa

[@PhilTaylorGuitar]

Just beautiful Will. Dare I say it? Difficult to say listening on YT but I think I may just favour the sound of this guitar over the Sands.

[@clementcurral3563]

Happy new year, wow Brilliant arrangement of this masterpiece.

[@richiecarrmusic]

Brilliant

[@will_mcnicol]

Cheers Richie!

[@AcousticOST]

Absolutely stunning! There’s so many amazing Ghibli pieces but my favorite is “the sixth station” from Spirited Away. Amazing job on this

[@will_mcnicol]

That's a beauty for sure. One of my other favourites is Merry-Go-Round of Life from Howl's Moving Castle. In fact it was used for the first dance at our wedding!

[@aodancoynemusic]

This is absolutely stellar stuff Will. One of my students, Julian Gurr, send me the link to your channel. Outstanding. I'll spread the word 👌🎸

[@will_mcnicol]

That's kind of you to say, and thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. Thanks to Julian as well!

[@StringsAtHome]

What a great addition to my work break 👌
Also one of my favourite Ghibli pieces, (although there's so many great ones)
Lovely warm tone as usual!
And great arrangement.
P.s.
If you have the time, what strings do you use?
I switched to silk and steel daddario's a few days back, and it's change my tone quite a bit!

[@will_mcnicol]

Thanks kindly. I use Elixir HD Lights.

[@StringsAtHome]

@@will_mcnicol Interesting, Never could get on with elixir's personally,
Thanks! :)
And also, downloaded the tabs for this,
Very generous to do that 🙏
