Artist: Elliott Smith
Song: Waltz 2 Xo
I am transcribing from the album version...
Easy Notes: To make it easier to read just use basic chords without the slashes
(Am,C,F,G,D7,Dm,B7,E7,G7 etc..) However , spend a little time on these
voicings and you will see they are not so complex to play
Advanced Notes: I have copied his voicings fairly well but he also will alternate the
bass notes
to the 5th of the chord often which I did not include
