When Ginny Kissed Harry

This is a beautiful piece of music by British composer, Nicholas Hooper, whose highest-profile scores were two Harry Potter films: Order of the Phoenix and the Half-Blood Prince. When Ginny Kissed Harry, turned out beautifully for a single guitar — as the original is played on a harp (or maybe two.) The song is one of the most iconic pieces from the Harry Potter franchise with nearly 20 million plays on Spotify alone.

The guitar tab for for this arrangement is beautifully written across 2 pages. I recommend it for intermediate guitar players and up.

Note: there’s a couple ways to fret the F/G chord in the chorus. I’m using my left-hand thumb to fret the G note (3rd fret, 6th string). I found that to be the easiest transition. Enjoy, the guitar tab is available below:

My song structure goes like this:

**When Ginny Kissed Harry | fingerstyle guitar

This piece is played in standard tuning with a capo on the 6th fret. The original is played with a capo on the 7th fret, but I found that to be too cramped for me.
