Guitar Tab

Artist  : Noah Gunderson
Song    : First Defeat
Album   : Ledges

Tuning  : Standard (EADGBe)

Capo    : None

Notes   : This doesn't include the strumming pattern, it uses the
          main chords and a rough idea of when Noah changes a note
          within the chord slightly. As there are times such as
          the intro/chorus where it's not so much a strumming
          pattern but a strumming riff so to speak.

          In some places the Fmaj7 plays slight variations by adding
          in a 9th (Fmaj7#9) but due to spacing I couldn't fit the
          chord names in certain places. So the asterisk (*) marks
          the Fmaj7#9 chord in those places.

🎸

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

          I also want to point out that on live acoustic versions
          that I've seen, he doesn't quite play as many hammer ons
          or note drops within a chord.
