5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
This tab covers the version of this song from “More Photographs (A Continuum),” a slowed-down version of the
original. Not perfect, but this is how I like to play it!
Basically, the entire song repeats these four chords:
Am Em F C/G
If you would like to just strum these, that works, but if you want to incorporate the little riff that is
heard in this version, this is the basic fingerpicking pattern:
[Verses]
E|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|----0h20--------------0h20----------------|
D|---------2---0h20----------2---0h20-------|
A|------------------3-----------------3-----|
E|------------------------------------------|
Over the chords, it would be something like this:
E|-0--0----0--------1---1----0---0---------|
B|-1--1----0--------1---1----1---1---------|
G|-2--0h20-0--------2---0h20-0---0---------|
D|-2--2----2---0h20-3---3----2---0h20------|
A|-0--0----2--------3---3----3---3---------|
E|-x--x----0--------x---x----3---3---------|
And then for this chorus, three chords are repeated:
I play the first one like this:
E|-0-
B|-1-
G|-2-
D|-3-
A|-3-
E|-x-
Followed by C and G; I strum the first one, then while strumming C and G I'll embellish w/ some
fingerpicking licks!
Hope this makes sense! Enjoy :)
