I LOVE YOU.
i tabbed this out around 2:30 in the morning in standard tuning but couldnt get the chords in. You are truly amazing. thank you. can you try to tab out rooftops? thanks! 5 *
Key of B Major
{B C# D# E F# G# A# B}
is that the tuning? (8 notes???) or just the key of the song. because im pretty sure it's a half step down. reply please! thanks!
That's the key of B Major, the tab it tabbed out in standard tuning, the key is just for further info like adding improvs in there. As i mentioned this is my first tab, i know i'm missing something, I am hoping that someone with a better musical ear can fill in those missing pieces until then this is the best I can do.
