How to Play "Equip Sunglasses" in Standard Tuning ============================================================= This catchy joint has been the only song in my head for the past 48h and I need a way to get it out. But when I looked up how to play it, they seem to use some fancy open tuning. And while ain't nobody got time to tune more than one string different for just one song, apparently they do got time to make their own arrangement... So here's how I'm jamming this song alone on a classical guitar (but using a pick) in STANDARD I'll give you the chords I use, as well as their place in the scale in case you want to transpose the progression to a different key. Just note that their names are simply the root. I'm not pro enough to figure out what they actually are called, but there is a suspended feel to them for whatever that's worth. I've landed on the key you see here (A) to allow for open strings and playing close to the nut. This way I can still get a vibe like the recording but solo on an acoustic guitar in standard. I guess all that to say just use a capo to transpose it. ============================================================= // The Chords You'll Need Make sure you deaden the unused strings while playing. You could otherwise get some nasty notes muckin up your sound.

// The Song These bars should be about 4 counts each. You'll need to trust your ears to figure out exactly when to strum/change. --Verse | F# | A | E | B | | VI | I | V | II | | F# | A | E | E | | VI | I | V | V | --Chorus | A | A | E | B | | I | I | V | II | --Bridge | C# | E B | A | A B | | III | V II | I | I II | | C# | E B | A | B | | III | V II | I | II | // The Hook While I didn't bother trying to do an arrangement where you could easily play both the progression and lead, I hope this will still satisfy. Again, I trust you'll be able to place the legato parts and particulars of the rhythm on your own.

// The Guiar Solo You didn't think I'd leave you without the solo did you? Just like with the hook, this is just the broad strokes. It's up to you to bring it to life! If you need a hint, think of this as what the solo would sound like if it was made up of notes that all had the same length.

And that's all there is to it! For what it's worth, the recording is in G# so to play along, you can shift everything in here down a semitone. Except for the chords I guess... You'd have to tune down. But if you're going to do that why not just try that fancy open tuning instead!
