Guys, can someone post the tabs. Guess the song starts with finger plucking. And this is an amazing song.
You can try this: ----------------------------------- -------3-----3------------------- -------0h2--0------0--------0-- ------------------4--------4----- ------------------------5--------- --3------------------------------- For which fingers to use, picture the big D shape (x54232) with your thumb covering the G on sixth string. Alternative approaches also do fine since a lot of people frown upon the use of the thumb. I usually fingerpick this but using a plectrum shouldn't pose too many problems ( in this part anyway ) I didn't tab the rest since I've never really tried to figure out the next part....I think it's a variation or extension of the C major chord...perhaps the major9th as suggested though I'm not entirely satisfied with the 6/9th following it.
Hello People! I have already tabbed the song here: https://indianguitartabs.com/showthread.php?t=14679
