First tab for me. This is done by ear and should give you a good idea of the chord
structure. To play it like Matt you really need to watch his videos and study his technique
and the little licks he utilises between lines and verses. This is the video I am basing
this off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS4XEuiIfVE
Not sure on the naming of chords but they are tabbed below.
Tips: this song is mostly picked, starting with the A string and then a picking the rest
of the strings in a fan a half beat later. The bottom E (in pitch) is rarely picked
apart from the turnarounds between lines/verses, this is in the shape of G and if you
are having trouble playing the picked version use a G at the end of each section. Best advice
though, watch the video and try to pick-up his technique. Enjoy ;)
Chords:
C/E: 032013
Cm/E: 002003
Fmaj9: 003213
G: 320033 (rather than actually playing G you can just do a little lick using the
same positions)
E7: 020100
Am7: 002010 (can also play standard Am)
C/EEvery now and then I get a Cm/Elittle bit carried away

Additional: I throw a few 5th harmonics in every so often and the odd scale between
verses to extend the length when played live.
