Product Description
This is a professionally arranged, simplified, and fully notated TAB transcription for 4-string bass, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar, all written in standard tuning (EADG for bass, EADGBE for guitar and acoustic), based on the stunningly beautiful pop ballad "How Long Will I Love You" performed by the British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding. This arrangement is set in the key of C major / A minor, remaining true to the original tone and mood of the track, and is suitable for beginner to intermediate players looking for a romantic, emotional, and musically satisfying piece.
Originally released in 2013 as part of Ellie Gouldings expanded album "Halcyon Days", and also featured on the "About Time (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)", this song became a global anthem of love, memory, and vulnerability. Known for its tender lyrics and intimate arrangement, How Long Will I Love You has captured hearts around the world and is now a favorite at weddings, romantic events, and film-themed performances.
This transcription offers a clean, simplified, yet expressive arrangement that captures the essence of the original recording while remaining easy to play and highly musical. All parts are accurately transcribed in both standard notation and TAB, with chord symbols, rhythmic values, and clearly marked sections (Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Outro) to guide performers through the structure with ease.
The bass guitar line provides a warm, steady foundation, gently supporting the harmonic progressions while remaining subtle and melodic. The acoustic guitar part features elegant arpeggios and flowing chord voicings, designed to be playable and beautiful. The electric guitar lines enhance the arrangement with soft textures and ambient support, perfect for recreating the lush atmosphere of the original soundtrack version.
Whether you're a solo performer, music student, teacher, wedding musician, film music enthusiast, or member of a pop band, this arrangement will be a perfect addition to your repertoire. Its ideal for live performances, rehearsals, lessons, cover sets, recitals, school music projects, and romantic events.
