...all wrong...

first chord played is a C.. there is an F and a couple barre chords... too tired to remember which

robanthony - 2005-03-19

actually this tab is completely right. if you would've noticed the tuning of the guitar, the first chord played really IS a C, even though its a "G" shape. despite what you thought it looked like, it sounds dead on.

this is because most TJT songs are tuned down a full step (DGCFAD) then the low string tuned down to DROP-C (CGCFAD). if this tab was played in standard tuning, then yeah it would be a completely different key.

nicely done. this is the best tab of this song that i've seen.

robanthony - 2005-06-09

err.. i meant "F" the first chord is an "F".
