TARGET Members will have any Charts, TAB, and Guitar Pro Files
The main guitar part is played in Dropped D Tuning (DADGBE) and John keeps a steady bass pattern going that plays the 5th string as the first bass note in each measure, alternating 5-4-6-4. The progression cycles through 4 measures where the 1st bass note goes from A to C to B to Bb. The names of the chords get a little cumbersome here but it is fine to think of it all as a D chord with changing bass notes.
Hi Neil, I was taught classical violin at age 12 - 16. Picked up guitar at that time and played by ear.........just turned 52 in June and because of your site and lessons I am playing better than ever in my life and in a way that I never thought was possible for me. You have allowed me to see that I really have a gift and this gift is enabling me to bring joy to myself and others........thank you so much!!!!

Hey Neil,
Why not just drop the 1st string down to D to free up the left hand some more?
Isn't that true drop D tuning?

The right hand fingers follow home position assignments- Your thumb plays the 6th, 5th & 4th strings, index finger plays the 3rd, middle finger plays the 2nd, and ring finger plays the 1st.
The TAB is part of the Lesson Notes- click the link in the Attachments box.
