“baby”
wyclef jean
this one has those rock changes you hear everywhere , i – v – vi – iv , with a discordant
transitional chord thrown in from v to vi . it’s optional if you find it too much
trouble . C/C# might not be the right name for it ( or even the right chord ) , but
it works well enough – – that said , let me know in comments if you have a better
idea . to play C/C# , you can slide your index finger up to fourth fret ( if playing
the barred version of C ) , or slide your ring finger up to 4th fret ( for the open version ) .
C/C# : x4555
xc/C# : x42010
