Matt Duncan - Beacon

Tabbed by sorte_muld
A lot of the Gmaj7's are subtle variations played by the piano,
and sound a bit more saucy on the guitar. Swap them to standard G's if you like that better.
I tend to like playing a short G and quick switch to Gmaj7
(in the chords marked by G / Gmaj7 ).
Enjoy!
