Hi Everyone!
I just got down a simple acoustic cover for this song.
I see other version but this one way easier to play and sound good too!
All you need just tune your guitar to Open D. (DADF#AD)
I gonna break down the chords and the left hand fingerring, strumming is easy just listen the tune.
Intro:
D -> Picking Hand: Just alternate pick with your thumb and an index or middle finger on right hand the
Lowest,3rd,4th strings
Frettin Hand: Middle finger on 12th on the lowest string and ring finger on 12th fret on 4th string
D# ->Picking Hand: Just pick the 1st and 4th string and a same time (listen the tune)
Frettin Hand: Index on 11th on the lowest string and pinky on 13th on 4th string
G -> Picking Hand: Same alternate picking like on D
Frettin Hand: Barre with index finger all string on the 5th fret.
You can play a little melody line here if u like!
(Hold the G chord with your index finger): -> on 4th string,just play a pull off with pinky and ring finger
on the fret 8th-7th-5th
and then go up with a melody on the 5th string 5th-7th-9th frets and 5th fret on the highest string!
Listen for timing!
Thats all for the intro!
For the verse and chorus and outro i will not explain the pickin hand its easy just randomly switch between
arpeggio and single strums.
Verse:
Em -> (2221xx)
G -> (5555xx)
Bm -> (9900xx) (The 3rd and 4th string are Open)
A -> (7777xx)
Chorus:
Em ->(2221xx)
D -> (0000xx) (Lowest 4 strings Open top 2 muted)
G -> (5555xx)
Outro:
A -> (7777xx)
G -> (5555xx)
D -> (0000xx)
