Grant Nicholas - Time Stood Still (acoustic)
E flat tuning - Capo 6 (or standard tuning Capo 5)
READ!
Grant does this thing where he holds the 3rd fret on the high E with his little finger
and the 1st fret on the B with his 1st finger for all the chords he plays, making almost
every chord a sus/ add chord - he uses his remaining two fingers to pick the root note of each
chord. In addition, for the first part of the song (except the intro), Grant picks the chords,
playing the root and then the 3 highest notes in the chord (all 16th notes).
