Then He Kissed Me / Then I Kissed Her - Fingerstyle Guitar with Free Tab
In this video, I want to share with you my fingerstyle guitar version of the classic song Then He Kissed Me / Then I Kissed Her. The song has two names depending on which version you listen to, but it's basically the same song just with different lyrics. The song was originally titled 'Then He Kissed Me' and it was released by The Crystals in 1963. The Beach Boys then released a version in 1965 which was musically almost identical but the lyrics were changed, as was the title to 'Then I Kissed Her'. The Beach Boys version is in the key of C# whereas The Crystals original version is in the key of E tuned down slightly between Eb and E. The version I have given you in this video is in the same key as The Beach Boys version in C#. It is played on a guitar in Open D tuning that's tuned down half step to make it Open C#. The music is in 4/4 time and it utilises a Travis picking pattern throughout. The song basically just comprises of a main section which is 16 bars...
