David Choi - This And That Is Life

harro : D . hi , my name is jeff and i Am 15 years old . i have recently found
out that david choi released a new album called ’forever and ever’ . its been
over a month since the album came out and i found out that it was released
just yesterday . . . ( fail ) ^^” anyways , my favorite song ( out of the whole
album ) was ’this and that is life’ and i felt like i had to learn how to play
it , but nobody posted the chords for it online yet! so then , i watched A
couple of videos on youtube where david played the song live and learned the
chords ( but they’re not perfect and i left a few out that i couldn’t get . . .
including the bridge . . . : p ) . this is my first chord/tab thingy i’m posting
so please , even if i get a lot of things wrong , no rude comments? : D
thank you and enjoy xd .

youtube video used to figure out the chords :

and

warning : 1 ) this is my first tab/Chord so i will get a few chords wrong
2 ) i left out a few chords i couldn’t figure out
3 ) i left out the bridge because i couldn’t figure it out t^t
4 ) all the chords of the song are jazz chords ( i think ) so be aware ,
they are hard to play at first , but just practice and you’ll get
it : D
( and if they’re not hard for you to play , “dang . . . you’r good . . ” )

tips : 1 ) the song has a jazz feeling , and jazz is a genre you tend to
improvise and play around with ( which also means having fun with ,
which is the reason it is my favorite genre ) , and that is what you
should do with this song : D
2 ) the strumming is all the same except the ’pre – chorus’ and the
’bridge’ ( which i still haven’t figured out . _ . ) . you strum down
once and you palm mute it immediately . repeat that ( only the
’down – strum’ ) throughout the intro , verse , chorus , etc . the
’pre – chorus’ and the ’bridge’ are harder to describe so my
suggestion is to listen to the song and try the rhythm , and
improvise if you can’t get it ( like how i did xd ) .

please send any corrections you find so i can fix it for other people too @
