This is my solo fingerstyle guitar arrangement of the La’s 1990 hit ‘There She Goes’. This song has developed into a bit of a timeless classic in the U.K., where it continues to be popular and receive a lot of exposure, for example, radio airtime (which is where I got the idea to cover it). The song is generally considered one of the main foundations to the ‘Britpop’ movement which preceded it. It also has the somewhat dubious reputation of being a classic ‘one hit wonder’.

For this fingerstyle arrangement, I tried to keep the tempo as close to the original studio recording as possible. Structurally, it’s the same as well apart from a slight tweak at the end to play it out.

It is played in the original key of G major. Despite this being a generally friendly key to play solo acoustic covers in, I found the fingering quite awkward and difficult to play fluently whilst getting all the melody notes in. Due to this, I ended up tuning the bottom two strings up to G and C, which provides an open root for the 1 and 4 chord. This then offered more freedom to focus on the right hand percussive techniques, which is quite integral to the feel of the song, without needing to worry about moving around too much between chord shapes with the left hand.
