This Is | TAB
The incredible This Is just wouldn’t get out of my head for days so I transcribed it in order to be able to move on!
Here’s the verse TAB.
The movement is I – III – II – IV – V in the key of D. I like the voicing of the F#m7, it’s more like an A/F# and works well when there is only one guitar.
The chorus starts on chord IV and almost feels like a bridge at first.
Finally, for the middle 8, I felt this needed a picked part to calm things down when it’s only played on one guitar, how about something like this?
Practise each section on it’s own before you play along with the original or even live recording.
