Chords

Song: Pretzel Logic Artist: Steely Dan Composers: Walter Becker and Donald Fagen Album: Pretzel logic Tabbed by DJ 7th May 20189 These chords are intended to be played fingerpicking, not strummed. The thumb picks the bass notes first, then pluck the rest of the chord with index, middle and ring fingers together, with a swing feel. Hammer-on the C note of the G4 chords from the open B string. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. Regarding tablature of the main riff, and also the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS, please follow the information at the bottom of the tab. Bm7/A = x0443x C6 = x32210 Am7 = x0555x Dadd4 = x5403x or xx0032 G/F = 1x000x G4 = 32001x Fmaj7 = 1x221x G = 32000x Em7/D = xx0453 D = xx0775 Dm7 = xx0565 Am7 = x02010 D/E = xx2232 or x7777x G/B = x2003x E/A = x02100 or x0999x C = x3201x C/D = xx0553 or xx0010 A/C# = x4222x D/G = xx5775 or 300032 ^ = Accent the beats N.C. = No Chords Please take a second to scroll down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== [Intro]
