Artist: Two Gallants
Song: The Deader
Album: Two Gallants
Like most 2G's songs, this one is finger-picked and a bit tricky for the novice.
There are two guitars on this track, acoustic and electric, playing similar things.
in this song he only plays C G and F (and variations thereof) and picks the melody line on
higher strings.
The chords are indicated for fretting, but the chords are rarely strummed. Instead they
finger-picked. So listen to the track to get a feel.
Note: The | indicate the beginning of a measure.
