For guitar tabs and a better video, please go to: http://www.poloniamusic.com/FolkMusicHejsokoly.html This is not a performance video, rather a close up of the fingerpicking you might use for Hej Sokoły. Go to the above link for a more complete tutorial on Hej Sokoły and guitar fingerpicking. Hej Sokoły relates the emotions of a Polish soldier who had to leave his Ukranian sweetheart to defend his homeland. As he lay dying on the battlefield, he calls out to falcons flying overhead and begs them to carry his love back to her, though he knows he shall never see her again.
