Newton Faulkner – Lay Down (Guitar Tab)
Auto-scroll
Speed:
1.0x
Figured this out by eye and ear after watching Ultan O'cinneide's cover on YouTube and the original version.
This is my first tab so apologies for any etiquete breaking or inconsistencies. I proof read.
I can't really transcribe the exact strum or picking pattern but the notes and chord shapes are correct.
I tried my best to translate how I play it but you just need to play around and figure out your jam.
BASIC CHORD SHAPES - c|--2-- c|--0-- c|--0-- c|--0--
G|--2-- G|--2-- G|--0-- G|--0--
F|--2-- F|--4-- F|--2-- F|--0--
C|--4-- C|--0-- C|--4-- C|--0--
F|--4-- F|--0-- F|--x-- F|--4--
C|--x-- C|--x-- C|--0-- C|--x-- The chord shapes will slide up and down the neck and there will be little licks between
and during but this is just to help get you oriented.
PRECUSSION - Gently slap the side of the guitar body under the neck, then scrath your nails back across
towards yourself. This is the precussion that happens after the tapping.
SYMBOLS - p - pulloff
h - hammer on
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
x - mute
(5) - harmonic
(R) - right hand tap
(L) - left hand tap
