I Might - Tweedy Solo

[ViaVillanova]

There is a great video of Jeff playing I Might at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Anyone interested in tabbing it out? Looks like he is using an open tuning.

[anthony]

That is nice. Looks like Open D.

 

Nice to see the J-45 again. Love that guitar.

[ViaVillanova]

I was listining some more last night. I think it is drop D rather than open D. Can't figure out the chord shapes he is playing though.

[anthony]

I is my first stab at it. The intro, break and outro are based on the two basic riffs with lots of ringing open top strings. He seems to throw in some slight variations, tho (prolly something like this : 578---).

 

BTW, Anyone have the definitive lyrics for this one? Couldn't find it.

 

As always, tabbing out stuff is not my strong-suit. Corrections are always welcome. Just thought I'd get the ball rolling.
