*Tabbed by K. Diddy on 11/10/05* Song: Better Together Artist: Jack Johnson Album: In Between Dreams This is how he plays it on the album, on AOL sessions, and in concert. There is *NO CAPO* for this song! It’s a basic strum pattern followed throughout the entire song, so once you get it down you’re good to go. Pluck the first note of the chord, finger-strum the chord *up* and then knock the chord (mute it). Jack uses this in a ton of his songs.
