Handprint

Twenty-year-old Kane Parsons is having a moment. His found-footage Backrooms short — made at home when he was 16 — pulled in tens of millions of views on YouTube and somehow turned into a real A24 feature. The film just became A24’s first movie to cross $100 million domestically.

Parsons also co-scored Backrooms alongside composer Edo Van Breemen. The soundtrack is atmospheric, synth-driven and patient. I really love the opening theme “Handprint”. It’s kind of Stranger Things-ish, and it worked out beautifully for fingerstyle guitar.

How to play Handprint | fingerstyle guitar

The guitar tab for this piece is beautifully written across 2 pages. It’s essentially one long passage that you play straight through 3x. It works out as meditational meditational etude or exercise. Enjoy! The guitar tab is available below:
