(guitar part) ^^(keyboard actually tong part na to!)
Here's how to do it sa guitar, kung trip nyo, hehe!
*****Illustrated CHORDS (EADGBe tuning)*****
x = dead (muted) string 0 = open string
Not all chords are here, you should know the most common ones!
D/F# 200232 GM7 320032
Bb5 x10330 <--cool chord! Em7 020000 <--easiest chord!
Emb5 078080 <--cool chord! Cadd9 x32033
C#m7 x46454 (bar) D/A x00232
F#7sus 242422 (bar) Bm/G# 4x0432
F#7 242322 (bar) B7sus x24252 (bar)
Bm7 x24332 (bar) B7 x24242 (bar)
Bm7 x24232 (bar) A7sus x02032
Bm6 x20102 Gm/Bb x10033
F#/Bb x1x322 E7/G# 420100
Notes/tips:
>> I use the thumb to press the bass string sa D/F#.
>> The Gm/Bb is that cute little one strum only chord, immediately before the actual chorus.
>> Mahirap (or at least nahihirapan ako) gawin ang Bm/G# at F#/Bb. I use my forefinger to mute the
middle
string. Normal F# can substitute F#/B. E7/G# can substitute Bm/G# (pero try it, mas swak tlga ung
Bm/G#!).
Don't recommend G#m to substitute it, unless beginner kau (yikes..), magiging off ung tunog!
