The record version is essentially the same riff repeated over and over again. When he plays it acoustically, the guitarist uses a lot of variants on G and C chords; mostly hanging on a G. You’ll be pretty safe sticking with G for the whole song and just switching up to C on “the worldContinue reading “k-os (ft. Kevin Drew and Sam Roberts) – Valhalla”

It sounds more like the record if you make the C chords as 8th fret barres (8 10 10 9 8 8), or add a high G (x 3 2 0 1 3). F I saw you running with your friends G I called your name too loud – ‘come back’ F so many timesContinue reading “Gordon Downie – Into the Night”

The intro part of this is very jangly, so just bash at the strings to your hearts desire. note For the intro, play the E5 as x799xx and the Emaj7(no 3rd) as x798xx. Don’t worry about hitting the open strings, it sounds good if you just bang at it. Intro: E5 Emaj7(no 3rd) E5 E5Continue reading “Gordon Downie – 11th Fret”

Most of the song is played very sparsely; just hitting a few notes here and there. Replace the chords with these if you want to play it without a capo: Am -> Bm G -> A F -> G E -> F# Capo II Am G There’s three days, and four nights to go FContinue reading “Castanets – Three Days, Four Nights”

This is done on a 5-string banjo with some heavy droning on the G string (the small one at the bottom thats pegged halfway up the neck). You’ll be safe if you just let it ring out the whole time. Be sure to let the G drone string ring throughout the song to get theContinue reading “Buck 65 – Indestrucable Sam”
