Harro :D. Hi, My name is Jeff and I am 15 years old. I have recently found out that David Choi released a new album called 'Forever and Ever'. its been over a month since the album came out and i found out that it was released just yesterday... (fail) ^^" ANYWAYS, My favorite song (out of the whole album) was 'This and That is Life' and I felt like I HAD to learn how to play it, but nobody posted the chords for it online yet! So then, I watched a couple of videos on youtube where David played the song live and learned the chords (but they're not perfect... :P). This is my first chord/tab thingy I'm posting so please, even if I get a lot of things wrong, no rude comments? :D THANK YOU and enjoy xD. Youtube Video used to figure out the chords: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfBiOX_7J1k AND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-UttjBYryI&feature=related WARNING: 1) THIS IS MY FIRST TAB/CHORD SO I WILL GET A FEW CHORDS WRONG 2) All the chords of the song are jazz chords (i think) so be aware, they are hard to play at first, but just practice and you'll get it :D (and if they're not hard for you to play, "dang... you'r good..") TIPS: 1) The song has a jazz/R&B feeling, and jazz/R&B is a genre you tend to improvise and play around with (which also means having fun with, which is the reason it is my favorite genre), and that is what you should do with this song :D 2) The strumming is all the same except the 'pre-chorus' and the 'bridge'. You strum down once and you palm mute it immediately. Repeat that (only the 'down-strum') throughout the intro, verse, chorus, etc. The 'pre-chorus' and the 'bridge' are harder to describe so my suggestion is to listen to the song and try the rhythm, and improvise if you can't get it (like how I did xD). Please send any corrections you find so I can fix it for other people too @ 'woongjae159@gmail.com' Tuning: Standard CHORDS USED (Intro, Verse, Chorus, Pre-chorus) Am7 Dm9 Bm7 Em9 Cm7 e|-----x---------x---------x---------x---------x-----| B|-----5---------5---------7---------7---------8-----| G|-----5---------5---------7---------7---------8-----| D|-----5---------4---------7---------6---------8-----| A|-----x---------5---------x---------7---------x-----| E|-----5---------x---------7---------x---------8-----| BRIDGE CHORDS (These are chords I don't really know how to name so I'm just going to name them in what I THINK is right and hope for the best :P) *CREDS TO stratATK* Em/C# Em/C Bm7 Em9 -> (?)
