IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
A5 = 577xxx D = x57775 E * = xx2100
G5 = 355xxx C = x35553 E7/D = xx0100
E5 = 022xxx E = 022100 E7/C = x30100
Am = 577555 G = 355433 E7/B = x20100
G# = 466544 Em = 022000
^ = Emphasise the beats N.C. = No chords
Please take a second to swipe down to the bottom of
the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks
