sonata always uses 1/2 down tuning , whether they’re playing |
with A 7 – string or 6 – string . however , i chose to tab this |
in standard because once they guitar actually comes in , it |
sounds like a capo is being used anyway ( by audible hints |
are the D chords ) so if it’s in D# tuning with a capo on 5 , |
what i’ve done here is essentially the same . ~enjoy!! |
