do you ever just sing the dear theodosia REPRISE instead just to make yourself cry–
best hamilton song by far
+3 is easier if ur a beginner
WHAT, NO UR CRYING
In +3, if Fmaj7 is too difficult for you, replace it with F
+3 capo on fret 1
you get a better “resolution” to the song if you add one last e chord between the final dmaj7 and a chords, imo 🙂
Do you agree that the part Aaron Burr sings to Theodosia is better that Hamilton’s?
deos anyone know the strumming pattern
I just use C Em Am F with a small up strum every time I change chords those chords in that order.
