ARTIST: Joie Calio
TUNING: Standard, down half a step (Low to High: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
CAPO: None
===================================================================
== INTRODUCTORY NOTES ==
===================================================================
This song of course sounds best if you tune the guitar down half
a step, but it's not necessary. The chords listed below are all
relative to position, not pitch. For example, anything listed as
an "E" is really "Eb", due to the lower tuning, but it's been
named "E" because the fingering is the way you'd play an "E" if
the guitar were in standard tuning, and so on...
For the most part, just strum the chords as Joie does on the
recording. There are all sorts of little improv-type bits in the
strumming, most notably during the first two verses with the
"Dmaj7" chord - for best effect alternate strumming the chord and
the bottom 3 strings open (listen to the recording, you'll see
what I mean). There is also a funky chord in the song, which
I've called "D/Fmaj7*". Look at the chord guide below and listen
to what Joie plays (sometimes he adds a high note on the 6th
string as part of a little mini-riff). It's so hard to explain
these things. Anyhow... in short, if you wanna play the chords
alone, go for it - but it sounds best when you add all the little
nuances of the strumming and improvise a little bit.
