Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Hey everyone, this is my first tab on this site. Just thought I'd upload this and see you guys think.
Chords used:
Bm (x24432) *NOTE: Sometimes Glen will play this with the high E string open throughout Bm/A (x04432) the Bm, Bm/A, Bm/G progression. I've heard it both ways. Bm/G (3x4432) Thanks ijackson57 for bringing it to my attention. F#m (244222) G (355433) A (x02220) D (xx0232)
Below is the basic pattern for the verses. You hit the bass note (B,A,G) and then brush and strum the strings below that bass note however you feel like. You can pick up a nice pattern from the song if you listen to it.
And sometimes Glen Hansard hits the bass note twice before switching. Again, just listen the song.
