@desertpavement5103 ай бұрын
Thanks. It’s pretty much this (tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/spinal-tap/gimme-some-money-chords-2659404), but moved up 3 steps. So E>G, A>C, D>F, etc. Some of these chords I played open and others I played barred versions. For example, F can also be played as 5553 (D, 2220, moved up 3 frets). If it helps, I play D by barring across 3 strings with just my middle finger.
