Tabs
Tuning: Standard Difficulty: Advanced This is a the opening track on Chris Ross' debut album "The Steady Stumble". It's also the most complex guitar song on the album, making it pretty hard to play and sing at the same time. To play this, your guitar needs to be tuned to EACGCe tuning with a capo on the second fret! This took me forever to tab. Definitely Youtube the song (and the guitar lesson taught by Chris Ross himself to figure it out) Good luck!
