Hello friends,

This week I've spent my time developing an arrangement and tab for "Helplessly Hoping" by Crosby, Stills and Nash." Additionally, I've experimented with placing mp3 samples into my PDF tabs. Take a moment to review this classic tune, see what you can get down using this resource and I'll be back ASAP with a full video tutorial. Have fun! -Rob

Crosby, Stills Nash - Helplessly Hoping

Lyrics: Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers Nearby awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit He runs wishing he could fly Only to trip at the sound of goodbye Wordlessly watching he waits by the window And wonders at the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams He worries did he hear a goodbye? Or even hello? They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain To tell you confusion has its cost Love isn't lying it's loose in a lady Who lingers saying she is lost And choking on hello They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other

Oh, and you've got finger-picking patterns, too! I'm going to enjoy getting stuck on this one :D

Great song! Looking forward to seeing the full lesson and working on this one. Regarding the MP3s in the PDF, at least with the PDF reader that I'm using (PDF XChange Editor), the controls are so tiny that it's impossible to use. With Chrome, the MP3 playback doesn't seem to work at all.

Hey Daniel, thanks for that feedback. I updated the PDF to have larger players. In the future, I'll design my PDFs from the get go to have more space to accommodate rich media. As for the issue with Chrome, I'm not certain how to fix that. I know this will not work on iphone, but it should work on any pdf reader.

That's a big improvement - I can now click on each of the control icons in the embedded player. Thanks! Regarding Chrome, some googling suggests that it's a known limitation of the browser PDF viewer, so there's not much to be done about it.

Hey Rob, I can not access the MP3 player.

Great Method with the MP3 embedded. Hint for Apple Users: it works fine with the Acrobat Reader for Apple, not in the Apple Preview (OSX 10.13.4)
