Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Hello all! Here's a rather simple tab for a rather beautiful song. (I often play in CGCGCC tuning, so I use powerchords instead, which sound good too.) If you listen to the song, the placing of the chords should come easily.
NOTE: This is how I play it in standard tuning. It may not be totally correct but it sounds great, particularly with an overdrive or distortion effect on the chorus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd Do Anything (the Soldier's Lament - John Butler Trio ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: DarrenJag E-mail: [email protected] Scale: C major for verse, E minor for chorus
(the trick is to play all five strings on the Cmaj7, and only the low three for the Cmaj/E. If you listen to the song you'll probably notice the subtle addition of the low E to the Cmaj7 chord)
