In This Moment - Roots
Hey Guys
I want to submit my Chords for Roots, it's kinda tricky to play it alone.
Intro and Verse part is played just with F5 and the single notes C, B and Ab.
The first chord is just F5 for the right sound then you just move one finger 1 step down to the B
I will name this chord B/F, don't know if it's right, the last one is an Ab5.
For the original sound you need to play the F5 the whole time and add the single notes C, B, Ab.
Hope you have as much fun as I had to figure out how to play it.
