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.

Basic Chord progression:

My beginner tutorial on how to play J. Holiday’s Suffocate on Guitar. I’m relatively new to guitar and tutorials (been playing seriously for about 6 months), so please send or comment me any feedback/suggestions. Also feel free to msg with questions. Hope the tutorial helps some people learn the song. =)

*Note: I used different versions of the same chords (dm7, am7, em7, FM7) for different parts of the song. I did this to 1. Stay true to the original arrangement as much as possible 2. Illustrate that you can play the same chord in many different ways on a guitar 3. Make certain transitions easier (the bridge). For example, I have 3 different versions of the dm7 chord, one for the intro, one for the verse/chorus, and one for the bridge.
