5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D G B ETecla: BCapotraste: 4th traste
This is by no means how Benjamin Tod plays the song,
however it sounds very similar and works with the lyrics,
and it is better than just strumming the chords. With that
said, I would actually recommend checking out the chord
publication for this song here on Ultimate Guitar.
Tod plays the song with a sort of Travis fingerpicking style,
so as long as you know the chords and how to Travis pick you
should be good to go after some adjustments, even without
these tabs. Feel free to mess around with the way you pick
the strings - again - this is not exactly how Tod plays the song.
In case you are curious how these tabs sound before you take the
time to learn then, I posted an unlisted demonstration on
YouTube: https://youtu.be/DYQRsRoTI5k?si=cAfF8McdgMg1kJg5
