Chords
Originally played with the guitar tuned a full step down but can also be played in standard if you transpose
it a full step down. Finger picking is dependant on the chord but it's triplets of typically the first, third,
and fourth notes. (Ex. for Bb you would play 6 4 3, the 6 and 4 being played with the thumb as a sort of bass
line which is common in Shakey Graves' style of playing).
