How to play For Emma by Bon Iver

You can find my new videos hosted at http://yellowbirdproject.com/

Lots of bands like Wolf Parade, Stars, Rilo Kiley, the Shins, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah etc. lend their artistic talents for a T-Shirt design. 100% of the profits go to a charity of their choosing. The shirts honestly look great (and this Bon Iver shirt is the most comfortable T I've ever owned) and it's for a great cause. Please make sure to check them out.

This is For Emma from Bon Iver's debut. It's a gorgeous song on the album, and even better live. I think you can throw in a C7 somewhere in there, but who's checking! Please excuse my falsetto.

I figured out the strumming was

up - down - hit

and what about the variation, Jerome ? cant nail that.

[luhario]

You tuned down half a step... sneaky ;)

@annabelvandasselaer Lies. It's Em in first inversion; G is in the bass which is why he thought it was a G chord. The root is the most important note of any chord and is never omitted.

I scrolled back and saw someone said it's tuned in Eb?

The uploader should put that in the comments or something

It seems like he's playing it in a different tuning...

Is he?

[bananenfoon]
