Yesterday tab by The Beatles (Ver. 4)

Guitar Tab

Tuning: Standard tuning

Difficulty: intermediate




Yesterday  -  The Beatles
----------------------------------

You need to tune all strings down one tone for this - so when
you play a G shape it actually comes out in the key of F.
It's important to do this - you can't just play the thing in F
using normal tuning - you need some bass notes which you can
only get by tuning down a tone and playing as if in G.

(I'll write all the chord names as if in standard tuning)




Intro:

      G(no 3rd)
