How was this arrangement?
Your rating helps other players find the best arrangements
If you want it to be easier to play and sound the same as the original chords (0) you can go -2 and put a capo on the 2nd fret
-2 with a capo on fret 2
This sounds great! For the strumming pattern, I personally like to strum down three times for each chord. -2 is relatively the easiest one to play. Hope that helps!
If you transpose to -2 its much easier
-2
+3 sounds pretty good
Old but gold!
For the strumming, what works for me is plucking the first and then the other strings repeatedly, because I can keep up with the song and have no trouble singing along to it. When it doesn’t work, I just pluck all strings at once (ex. slower parts of the song)
Here’s how the plucking works:
A|——0——0
E|——0——0
C|——0——0
G|-0——0——
I hope this will be a bit helpful to others. 🙂
i think instead of “standing there with a frown and a cigarette” its “standing there with your phone and a cigarette”
i think -2 makes the song way easier and also the em7 sounds funkey anybody know a better chord to used insted?
What does -2 mean? (I’m a noob I’m sorry)
what is negative 2 mean
If Gbm7 is too difficult I just substitute Gbm
I definitely think -4 sounds and feels best.
Em7 on -2 sounds weird.
When transposed -2 em sounds way better than em7
-2
I don’t Really like the em7 (if you transport it to -2)
Lol I requested this yay!!
