#--------------------------------------NOTE------------------------------------# # This is my own work; it represents my interpretation of Eels' song to be # # played on acoustic guitar. # # You may use this file for private study, scholarship, research or just fun # # 2017-03-31, elem089 # #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# # NOTES: # changing from Am > Cmaj9/E > C/G I put some emphasis on the A-string notes # to represent what's played by the strings on the recording; # similarly within the F > Fmaj7 > G sequence I put emphasis on the # lower E-string notes # This is quite easy with the strumming pattern noted here # VARIATION: sometimes I play Am instead of Fmaj7 I'm playing the following chords here:
