Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek" Arrangement for the Guitar

The White Hat — Tue, 15 May 2007 00:47:28 -0800

Rough arrangement of Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" for the steel-string guitar. I put this together about a month ago, after the SNL "Dear Sister" sketch introduced me to the song.

It's a cool arrangement; what tuning are you in? Drop D?

Standard tuning. If you want to bring it up to imogen's original pitch, throw a capo on II.

Superb. I can't keep a straight face during this song any more.

Crisp, sharp, beautiful. Sounds a bit like Michael Hedges.

Almost sounds like 12-stringer at times.

The original is a capella, right?

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments. Will continue posting pop covers.

The original is Imogen Heap solo through a vocoder attached to a keyboard.

This is absolutely amazing. Please do post more pop covers. Consider my mind in a state of "blown".

Spectacular. I thought about doing this after I saw that one Zach Braff movie, but you've outdone me by 1)Doing it well, 2)Doing it better than I would have, and 3)Posting it for all to hear. Excellent work.

Do you have tablature / sheet music for this arrangement? It's just simply beautiful and I think would be a great exercise for learning chord melodies

Going about things backwards, as always: I just discovered this mefi thread about the SNL parody and it's giant pile of imitations.

Very nicely done, the guitar sounds fat and the clearity of it is as clear as a mountain sky, this on goes on the list.

Wow, this is nice. I've really loved this song ever since I first heard it, and having never watched the OC or that SNL skit, it's still untainted for me.

Really great. Make the song so much more genuine and human-sounding somehow, as opposed to ethereal and artificial.

Absolutely marvelous. Brings back memories of listening to my dad play to me. Tears along with that.

I'm not familiar with the original, but that's a great acoustic guitar sound you've got going there. Thanks.
