Track 9 - Vienna
 
Standard Open D Tuning
Best For Acoustic Guitar
 
 
There are two options for tuning:
 
NUMBER ONE - OPEN D (With a capo on 1)
 
Some people might prefer this as open D is a more common tuning and could be used on a
set with other songs!
It also means only tuning strings down, which reduces the chance of them breaking on
etc..!  All following
notation is relative to the capo!
 
D (Down)
A (Down)
F# (Down)
D

D (Down)
 
NUMBER TWO - OPEN Eb
 
This is an alternative if you dont have a capo and are willing to risk your strings, but
is esentially the same!
 
Eb (Down)
Bb (Down)
G
Eb (Up)
Bb (Up)
Eb (Down)

Great tab! Best one I've seen by far. Couple suggestions with the intro. Here's what I'm hearing: Abmaj9 Bb7 Abadd9/C (might just be a Cm, they're similar chords) Abmaj9 Bb7 Abadd9/C Eb (I'm hearing the Eb passing from the Ab/C to the Ab) Abmaj9 Bb7 Abadd9/C

great tab, heres a little addition for the intro/chorus [-0---0---0-0---0--0--] [-0---0---0-0---0--0--] [-5---7---9-8--/10\-8-] [-5---7---9-9---9--9--] [-5---7---9-9---9--9--] [-5---7---9-9---9--9--] i feel like that little slide adds more color to the song, makes it sound fuller
