Capo 2 Video Lesson
Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

Chords

This is based off his live acoustic version that resembles the album version (which is capo 4) Capo on second The picking style is the same as Fly in Numbers, there is definitely variation i.e. not playing or adding those ghost notes, but this is the foundation of the song. I have done my best to tab it out according to what I watched, any and all criticism is welcome I am pretty sure I have the Am chord wrong but for the life of me can't figure what it's missing. No idea what the chords are actually called. [Chords]
