Title: Lullaby Artist: Shawn Mullins Transcribed Nov. 14, 1998 by Vincent Sargenti - eleven@proaxis.com Shawn's Actual Chord Voicings: Like any performer, Shawn alternates between voicings of any given chord substituting open and alternate notes into his chords for coloration. Sometimes he plays G with a high G-(1st string, 3rd fret,) sometimes he voices it with an open E ringing. Etc etc. Same goes for B11 and C.
