CHORDS I USED: www.ultimate-guitar.com Questions? Message. Webcam questions? Ask.

Hope you like it. You play that riff through the entire song.

Edit 3: I’m pretty much getting the same comments over and over, so I decided to disable comments for the sake of saving myself time in checking messages. If you have a question just message me or something. Edit 2: OKAY. ONCE AGAIN. I /KNOW/ IT’S IN DROP C. NO NEED TO TELL ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS VERSION IS IN STANDARD, THEREFORE NOT THE ORIGINAL PLAYING OF IT. THIS IS JUST A WAY TO PLAY FOR THOSE WHO DON’T WANT TO SPEND THEIR TIME RE-TUNING THEIR GUITAR. Edit: Okay…honestly….I’m getting tired of reading ppl’s comments saying “it’s in drop c” blah blah blah. Well THIS version is STANDARD. If you can’t deal with that, don’t even watch the tutorial let alone comment….This is basically a tutorial for those of you who want to play a simpler version or don’t know how/are too lazy to tune it to drop c….like me….haha. I’mma teach you to play Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus on da acoustic gee-tar! Le gasp! Sorry for my mistakes, and sorry for not being born to be a teacher. XDD Jkjkjkjk!! My first tutorial XP I hope at least one person is able to learn from this….XD The tempo I go at is kinda fast I think XPP I’m not sure. oo I was kinda going at my own pace…..sorry if I was too fast. DX Here’s the tabs/chords I used: www.ultimate-guitar.com Check out my violin/guitar duet with DarkDragonAsassin to see and hear me play the whole song. The original cover I did that is on my account is inaccurate. Comment or PM meh if you have any questions …

Basic Chord progression: C9 – DMaj – em7 – D/F# – G (tabs for chords are below) My tutorial on how to play “Cupid” by 112 on guitar. Check out my singing group performing the song. (in my favorites) Also, im new to tutorials, so please let me know how I can make them better. Note: The original version of cupid is in C#. I played it in C because Im new to guitar (although I do know a little about music theory) Also, I gave simple names for each chord to make things simpler..eg I said the first chord was C when really it was C9..if you have any detailed questions feel free to msg me. _________________________________ TABS: C9 -3- -3- -0- -2- -3- -0- __________________ DMaj -2- -3- -2- -0- — — __________________ em7 -3- -3- -0- — — -0- __________________ D/F# – (for this chord I barred the entire 2nd fret and put my ring finger on the 3rd fret, second string. Then I picked/grabbed the E6, G3, B2, and E1 strings. -2- -3- -2- -2- (don’t pick this string, even though it’s barred) -2- (don’t pick this string, even though it’s barred) -2- __________________ G -3- -3- -0- -0- -2- -3-

This Tutorial is based on the live acoustic version of this CORRECTION #1 – The second chord of the verse the 4th string is muted. So its just 11] 9] X] 11] X] X] CORRECTION #2 – The fourth chord of the verse is not on frets 5 and 8 as I stated (verbal error only), its on frets 5 and 7, which you probably figured out but I thought I would mention it. CORRECTION #3 The riff directly before the chorus is only played three times (not four). Make sure to let the third time around ring into the chorus.
