VINYL ADVICE
As Appearing on the album 1001
Written By Brent Babb, Steve Larson, Curtis Grippe, Brian Griffith
Transcription by Mark Ord (ord@alphalink.com.au)
Notes: When changing from the G to Am (G - Am - Cadd9 - D) hit the open E (6th)
string. Aim for a casual strum, as a passing chord, rather than
picking the E note intentionally, creating a loose G / Em
(basically open strings) type of passing chord.
For clarification, give the song a listen, using a straight G -> Am
change, and then with the loose passing chord, for an illistration
of this.
The passing chord is arguably too subtle to notate (and thus I haven't,
for convenience), however it applies the whole way through the song, on
ever G -> Am change.
