I’d highly recommend slowing the video down and mimicking David’s fretting hand position throughout. It gets a little tricker around the 6th bar but take it slowly and you’ll work your way through it without too many problems. Two of the first four bars don’t require you to fret any notes at all (which is rather nice).

Here’s the tab (I have a guide to reading tab if you need some help)…ĭavid’s arrangement isn’t too tricky to play and shouldn’t pose too many problems particularly if you’ve done a little bit of fingerpicking in the past. It wasn’t until I started playing through the tab below that I recognised it. I actually didn’t know this song by name at all. Here’s David playing through his arrangement of Heart and Soul… This ukulele arrangement was kindly provided by David Lawson (regular readers will know that name as he’s contributed two arrangements in the past – The Walking Dead theme and The Scientist by Coldplay).

It’s been covered numerous times over the years and appeared in the 1988 Tom Hanks movie Big in a famous scene where Hanks and Robert Loggia play the tune on a toy floor piano. Heart and Soul was composed back in 1938 by Hoagy Carmichael.
