Composer: Paul Simon
Album: Sounds of silence
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' at ultimateGuitar.com) 23rd Oct 2016
DROPPED TUNING:
To match album track de-tune all strings a semi-tone down
to D#-G#-C#-F#-A#-D# to get you in the ball park.
ADDITIONAL FINE TUNING:
To match the original album track more precisely, use a
chromatic tuner, and tune up all the strings very slightly
up approx.(+10 cents)
Alternatively, seach for a live version to practise along to,
which still requires the main dropped tuning but may be in
standard pitch and not need any further fine tuning.
