Topic: Closer To You

Of course, by Brandi Carlile.

I can play the song but can't figure out the little intro for some reason.. Capo 4, but I can't really tell by watching videos what chords she is playing when doing the intro.. Can any of you?

Re: Closer To You

Howdy,

  Well I watched the first video you posted and another, and it seems like she's playing open G, then open C up two frets, followed by open C in first position with a quick C6 before the return to G.  Played it without the capo and it sounds close to my ear anyway.  Sorry I couldn't get the picking pattern down without a bit of time or I'd try to tab it out.

Hope that's helpful, if anybody has a better idea, by all means correct me..... please!

Take Care;
Doug

Re: Closer To You

According to this, the intro is G and C.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Closer To You

I'm away for the weekend and, sadly, don't have my guitar with me! I'll try it out as soon as I get home. Thank you both!
