Chords

Song: Underneath the stars Artist: Kate Rusby Composer: Kate Rusby Album: Underneath the stars Tabbed by DJ 1st Mar 2016 Listening to the fingerpicking, Kate doesn't always play all the full strings. For example with the G, she doesn't appear to play the 1st and 2nd strings so it's technically a G5 chord. On the other chords she's selective whether she plays the 1st string or not, so go with your own feeling. To hear the record at this link: Here's a live performance of this song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biZt9R964l4 Live acoustic video performance, starts at [2.20] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1NqnTraLUw
