So, capo on the first fret position if you want to play along with the recording. As usual, the fingering is provided as if no capo were used. This transcription is really for acoustic guitar. On an electric you'll be able to work your way around the figure as a barred Eb at the 11th fret. (But then you'll have to transpose the other parts accordingly.) Guitar Figure 1 is played in the intro and verses with some small variations. The chords are D and G, but you might be better off to keep the fingering for a basic D and add the other notes by moving the 4th finger across to play the B and G notes. The alternative GF1 is a G fingering where you can play the hammered part an octave lower. As always: let your ear decide! Or you can just play the chords... Enjoy!
