Newton Faulkner – Break (Guitar Tab)

Video Lesson

Versions (2)

Auto-scroll

I had some problems identifying certain sections and the tuning, but it seems to follow his normal tuning of DGDGAD, although I can't get it to match perfectly against his guitar. Use a capo to adjust it to a key comfortable for your voice (Faulkner tends to tune down a semi-tone). It follows the same pattern throughout the verses [Verse 1]
