simple song but first tab so go easy , constructive criticism appreciated , childish abuse
so
standard tuning , capo on 4th , ( or if you don’t have one just cut a chopstick in half and
it down to the fretboard with a shoestring or something )
just experiment with different strumming patterns , i tried a cheeky
’d – D – u – u – D – u’ and it seemed to was listenable . just make sure you hit the high strings
the upstrokes .
for an easy little intro on the one string , see the tab below ( s = slide , repeat 3 or 4
and in between verses ) .
alternatively , just mess around with E and Am for an intro .
E – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
B – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
G – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
D – – – – 2 – 2 – 2 – 0 – 2s3 – 2 – 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
