Blind Pilot
3 Rounds and a Sound
Capo 1
All chords relative to capo.
Chords used:
F7/C (F7) 1x3210
F11 1x3230
F7sus2/C (F*) 1x3010
Fadd9 (F9) 1x3213
C (C) x32010
Cadd9 (C9) x32030
Notes to playing it JUST like Blind Pilot:
1) He does this little pinky thing with his F chord. First he'll emphasize the open E
the F7, then he'll emphasise the D on the F11, then back to the E string on the F7, and
he'll do a sort of melodic fall from the F9-F7-F11-F7. (emphasize the notes, G-E-D-C).
great video is found on youtube by searching, Blue Ribbon Vision @ the riverside
In fact, in that video he breaks his A string (on purpose!) to avoid hitting that nasty
(which I included for the C chords)
2) When strumming verse, he does a weird pull of thing with the 2nd fret on the G
but it's VERY brief, don't over do it! The idea is a F7-F*-F7- real quick.
3) When strumming the bridge (Amin chord), he uses pull offs on the 2nd fret of the D
G strings. He also plays the f7 chord for only 1 strum!
4) He changes the strumming pattern towards the end (on the chorus section) to
a melody involving the D on the B string (3rd fret). I'm too lazy to tab it out,
have
use your ear. Check out the video, it'll help loads!
