Alicia Keys - No One (Guitar Tutorial)

23rd September 2008

I got a request to figure out Alicia Keys’ No one, in the same style as the Outkast vid I’ve uploaded a while ago.
I like the song and I had some time to spare this afternoon, so I gave it a try. It’s more of an impression, but
as you can see it’s doable. If you want it to be perfect, you’ll have to put some effort in it. She sings a lot of notes
in so few bars…insane.
Chords I use: C,G,Am,F and play the melody with the index and pinky, bass notes with the ring and middle finger.

Sorry ’bout the sloppy camerawork, at least the tutorial at the end is visible.
Good luck.

update: Tabs

The basics are:
C G
E:———————0—————–|————————
B:————————-3—1—0—-| 3-1-3—————-
G:———-0—————————-|———–0———–
D:——2——-2———————–|—————-0——-
A:–3————————————|————————-
E:—————————————-| 3———————
Am F
E:—————————-0-|–1———–0————–
B:——————–1—3—–|——1————3-1-0——
G:———-2——————-|———-2——————–
D:——2——2—————-|——————————–
A:–0—————————-|——————————–
E:——————————–|–1—————————–

The ‘You and me together’ part is:
C G Am
E:—3—0————3–0——0–1–3–5–3–0————–0–1–3–
B:————1——————————————–1–3—————
G:—————–0————————————————————
F
E:–1———1——–0———————
B:—–1———1———–3—1—0——-
G:———2———2———————0—

And the verse, well…you should be able to figure it out after this tab, together with the video (sorry, have to get back to work). If you don’t get it, just let me know.

    Thanks for the Tabs and for the most beautiful guitar cover of the song that exist.

    However, is it possible for you to tab the whole song? Myself, along with many many others i suppose, would highly appreciate if you could do so.

    Thanks on forehand.

    So it’s just the I,V,VI,IV chords for the verses and VI,V,IV,I for the bridge? Now I gotta figure out what key to sing it in. I think Alicia’s is in the Key of E.
