Song: Give a little bit
Artist: Supertramp
Composers: Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson
Album: Even in the quietest moments
Tabbed by: DJ 26th Dec 2018
FINE TUNING:
The original album track is quite sharp. To match the
pitch closer, using a chromatic tuner, tune all the
strings up by +25 cents above standard pitch.
Alternatively, use a live version.
Here Roger has a capo on the 1st fret, but is already
tuned down a half-step, his capo just there to bring
it back up to standard pitch again, a common practise
with 12 string guitars to take a bit of pressure off
of the neck.
