Harper Lewis Chords & Tabs
I recently learned the tapping solo in this song by ear with the current tabs
as a guide. While they are probably 90% correct, I figured I would just tab
out the parts I could hear that are different in the studio version.
Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Ab Db
Notes:
-The three notes in the right hand pattern (two taps and a pulloff) all
have equal lengths.
-The slide from the 5th fret chord to the 8th fret takes no time and may or
may not be actually strummed. For all the other slides, you should strum
the beginning octave up to a full note before the beat and slide it so that
it arrives with the beat.
