| DEL AMITRI'S "ROLL TO ME" - BEGINNER VERSION |
------------------------------------------------
Just wanted to post an easier version of the song I came up
with. You can play the whole tune, including the more complex
chords, by fretting only power chords on the bottom three
strings, and leaving the top three strings open. Just tune
your 
A augmentedA and 
D MajorD strings up one step, and your 
G+G string up one
half step, so that you have an open 
E MajorE Major tuning, then use a
capo if you want different keys. Not the exact chords, but
they work.
Get a 2nd guitar to play arpeggios, and a bass to play the
roots, and you've got a song your band can learn in about
10 minutes. :-)
TUNING: [-E-B-E-G#-B-E-] (open E MajorE major)
KEY: E MajorE Major (open) or 
FF Major (capo I)
/ = strum: down on beats, up in between
// \\
||: :|| = repeat enclosed sections as marked
\\ //
X ___ = hold chord X
