From [email protected] Sun Mar 9 21:24:59 1997 could you please DELETE my .crd and .tab postings for /h/boo_hewerdine/16_miles.* and REPLACE them with this one as a .tab thanks Nic [email protected]
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo RichardBB (sorry mate, I lost your full address sometime during the EMI episode) sends this new fingering which makes it much easier on the fingertips- Nic : Chords and fingerings that I use (ignoring the capo at first fret). It is far easier to move the first or second finger to play the

Note: forE minor 7Em7 Boo Hewerdine plays this chord with the
D MajorD string open, but I prefer the sound of the chord with the
D MajorD string fretted.

Esus4Esus4 The trick is to fret the
BB and e strings 'the wrong way round' (i.e. pinky on
BB string, 3rd finger on e string) so you can slide down to the second fret on the e string for the last beat in each bar (marked * above). e.g. for a
Cadd2Cadd2 going to C(b5)add2 (second bar) ______o____ | | | | | | |_|_|_|_|_| | | | | | | |_|_1_|_|(3) | | | | | | |_2_|_|_4_3 | | | | | | |_|_|_|_|_| I think that's about it, any comments (or better chord names!) welcome. Nic [email protected]
