Ave Maria by Noa is not easy to play, because you need to make sure, that all notes ring clear and long. As you know, it is based on the Bachs masterpiece and it's one of Noa's most popular songs. The arpegio pattern on the guitar stays consistent over all chord shapes. Every chord consists of 4 notes. The right hand picks every chord in the pattern T I M R I M R (Legend: Index, Middle, Ring, Pinkie and Thumb) I transcribed all chord shapes. Please adapt the right hand picking like described to every chord shape. A special complexity of the song is the key change before the second verse. This transcription helps you here with the special trick of quickly placing the capo on the 2nd fret right before the second verse. Enjoy! @yoda_2 [Chords Intro] A6 : |-x-0-2-4-2-x-| D/A : |-x-0-4-x-3-5-| E/A : |-x-0-6-x-5-7-| [Chords Verse 1] A6 : |-x-0-2-4-2-x-| D/A : |-x-0-4-2-3-x-| E/G# : |-4-x-6-4-5-x-| F#m/A : |-x-0-4-6-7-x-| B/A : |-x-0-4-4-4-x-| A : |-x-0-2-2-2-x-| F#m : |-2-x-x-2-2-2-| H : |-7-x-x-8-7-7-| E : |-0-x-x-4-5-4-| Edim : |-x-7-8-6-8-x-| D6 : |-x-x-0-7-7-7-| Ddim : |-x-5-6-4-6-x-| A/C# : |-x-4-x-6-5-5-| D/C# : |-9-x-7-7-7-x-| Bm7 : |-x-2-4-2-3-x-| A (shape2) : |-x-0-x-6-5-5-| [Chords Ref 1] A7/C# : |-x-4-5-2-5-x-| D : |-x-x-0-2-3-2-| D#dim : |-x-6-7-5-7-x-| Am/E : |-0-x-x-5-5-5-| F6#11 : |-x-x-3-4-3-5-| E : |-0-x-x-4-5-4-| A/E : |-0-x-x-6-5-5-| E4 : |-0-x-x-4-5-5-| D7/E : |-0-x-x-2-1-2-| E7 : |-0-x-x-4-3-4-| A7 : |-x-0-5-6-5-x-| D/A : |-x-0-4-x-3-5-| E/A : |-x-0-6-x-5-7-| A : |-x-0-x-6-5-9-| A6 : |-x-0-2-4-2-x-| [Chords Verse 2 with capo on 2nd fret] B6 : |-x-2-4-6-4-x-| E/B : |-x-2-6-4-5-x-| F#/A# : |-6-x-8-6-7-x-| G#m/B : |-x-2-6-8-9-x-| C#/B : |-x-2-6-6-6-x-| B : |-x-2-4-4-4-x-| G#m : |-4-x-x-4-4-4-| C# : |-9-x-x-10-9-9-| F# : |-2-x-x-6-7-6-| F#dim : |-x-9-10-8-10-x-| E6 : |-x-x-2-9-9-9-| Edim : |-x-7-8-6-8-x-| H/D# : |-x-6-x-8-7-7-| E/D# : |-11-x-9-9-9-x-| C#m7 : |-x-4-6-4-5-x-| B (shape2) : |-x-2-x-8-7-7-| [Chords Ref 2 and Outro with capo on 2nd fret] B7/D# : |-x-6-7-4-7-x-| E : |-x-x-2-4-5-4-| Fdim : |-x-8-9-7-9-x-| Bm/F# : |-2-x-x-7-7-7-| G6#11 : |-x-x-5-6-5-7-| F# : |-2-x-x-6-7-6-| B/F# : |-2-x-x-8-7-7-| F#4 : |-2-x-x-6-7-7-| E7/F# : |-2-x-x-4-3-4-| F#7 : |-2-x-x-6-5-6-| B7 : |-x-2-7-8-7-x-| E/B : |-x-2-6-x-5-7-| F#/B : |-x-2-8-x-7-9-| B : |-x-2-x-8-7-11-| B6 : |-x-2-4-6-4-x-| * prepare your capo on the head stock so you can quickly grab it before the second verse [Intro] A9 D/A E/A [Verse 1]
