BOI IT SOUNDS SO GOOD TRANSPOSED TO -3 AAAA
im doing this song for an audition so wish me luck!!
Is there a tab for the picking?
Fingerpicking for some of the lyrics(assuming you have a capo in 1):
The way she tells me I’m hers and she is mine

I transpose it to -1.
Use d-d-d for verse, only down strum for pre chorus and d-d-u-u for chorus. I like the sound of it, let me know if it helps.
I find that a DDUDU strumming pattern works really well for me!
Using -1 and putting a capo on the 1st fret works the best for me. For the fingerpicking, I like to pinch the G and the A strings simultaneously and then pluck C and then E. I guess it would look like this:
A:|3| | |
E:| | | 0
C:| | 0 |
G:|0| |
I really only use it for the long stretches of C chord, and for the chorus and pre-chorus I just use downstrums.
I like to transpose it to +1 🙂
I use a DdUu (the uppercase means more emphasis) strumming pattern as the base for playing this song, but I don’t follow it rigidly. You’ll have to feel out the rhythm for yourself to figure out when to switch it up.
-1 capo on first fret
what’s the rhythm in -1? Can you explain it with ups and downs?
+4 is good for an alto register
I transpose it to -1 and use d-ud the entire time for the strumming pattern
higher voiced singers may enjoy this at +6
fingerpicking for the intro!!!
