Chords

Notes: There's actually a Pro tab of this, but since it relies on an 8-string, I figured I'd give it a go. The picking pattern described helps with the transitions between chords, since these always happen on the base note. I've also mapped out the chords to keep the number of active strings constant while picking, I think it really helps. Awesome song by UMO, enjoy! YouTube link: /watch?v=uY82vChor2A
