Baby - Justin Bieber
This is the tab for the acoustic version of Baby, the one he and his guitarist played on
YouTube video and most likely the same live performance.
The way the guitarist plays this song, he palm mutes the single note on the low E
This does take practice to get it down, but just try and play along with it.
During the chorus you can just strum it freely, but I like to play it like this.
Enjoy.
