Let It Go – James Bay
How to play
"Let It Go"

FatalSwan
Tuning the G string down half a step is a brilliant way of playing this song, I find it makes it more intuitive to play and gives you the opportunity of playing more of the bass notes as open strings. However it's definitely not how James Bay plays it himself - he actually made a video describing in detail the tuning he uses (standard tuning but all strings down a full step) and the fret positions, which are obviously different from this tab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkILJgqbo08 I bet he wishes he'd thought of this way though...
