So Much Love - Live
Based on his performance in Londonderry. You'll need some sort of loop pedal if you want
to mimic his live performances.
Note: During the verses Howie plays the G with the third fret on the b string, during
the chorus, he plays it open. I think this song sounds good if you just vary the way you
play the chords, hammering on and off certain notes to mix it up a bit.

G D Fmaj7 C (He loops these chords, then starts layering a percussive rythym with muted
strings. If you don't have a loop pedal then keep playing these chords until the end of
the song.
He then adds another level of the same 4 chords, but played as barre chords E.g. D on
the 10th fret
This is where you can start to loop the vocals.
Stay with me, Stay with me x3, singing higher each time
Then, singing on top of the loops
For your love, for your faith, for your trust, the two of us
For your love, for your faith, for your trust, the two of us
For your love, for your faith, for your trust, the two of us
I'm in love with you
For your love, for your faith, for your trust, the two of us
For your love, for your faith, for your trust, the two of us
(Cut the guitar loops and really go for this last one!)
For your love, for your faith, for your trust, the two of us
Cut the vocal loop and you're done!
Feel free to comment, I've tried to keep it fairly simple. Check out his live
performances of the song to get a feel of how it goes.
