Attempt to capture chords for Stu's new song for March 2024:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSF3WzrSiPU
Tune a half-step down to play these chord shapes along with the video linked above.
Stu plays this one primarily on the piano, but I think this is likely how he would play
it on the guitar.
Where I have indicated notes in parentheses, I believe these would just be single
walking notes on the
A and lowe E strings during the transition from the D to the Bm chord and C to F that
follows.
If you prefer, you can skip those walking notes. The C/B is also a walking note from C
to the Am.
