Awarding the Contemporary Arts

Trip-hop group Massive Attack conceived Teardrop with a view to Madonna contributing vocals, but it was Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins whose astonishing performance made the cut. The song’s widespread popularity inspired many cover versions, but singer/songwriter Newton Faulkner brings us percussive wizardry, combining the original harpsichord riff, bassline and catchy rhythms into a solo guitar part.

First, aim for a clear tone with the sparse bass notes and drone in bars 1-22, making sure that both strings are free to ring clearly. The ‘drum’ groove is played by striking the guitar body with your pick hand. Experiment with this to achieve a kick drum and cross stick effect. Then, extend your thumb to strike the bass notes at the same time as the heel of the hand hitting the guitar body, before bringing in the left hand hammer-ons and pull-offs.
