What Light Chords


Recommended Posts

Just grabbed my guitar right now and have the verse down, very simple song I'll post the whole song as I figure it out.

 

Capo 10

 

Intro

C

 

Verse

C F C G F C

 

I'll keep adding stuff as I figure it out. Add stuff if you figure out more or give feedback please.

crazy...though i would expect if jeff did this he would just tune down to DGCFAD like he used to do for Hummingbird...

 

same notes, but it would be a pretty different sound.

 

I would think he'd capo 8 and play it in D

He is playing it on the 8th fret in D (i.e. D, G, A) as jhc said.

 

while he strums on the D, he takes off his fingers on the first and third string then puts them back on, much like in lost love.

 

Thanks - that's what it sounded like to me but I didn't have a visual confirmation.

 

Actually kind of a relief - capo 10 is rough.

Are the chords in Capo 5 the same as what is posted here for Capo 8? The Bb C part doesn't sound quite right to me on the "inside of you" part.

 

I've been playing this, like a previous poster suggests, with no Capo and just playing G, C and D with an Eb/F slide for the "inside of you part." However, I know Jeff plays this with Capo 5. Can someone help me out?

 

It's going to be capo5 from now on, pretty much.
