Waves of Salt - Henry ate This song is being played with the help of a capodaster at the first fret. So actually you play the whole in C# instead of C, but the song is transcribed as if you are playing in normal tuning. The song is played a neat fingerpicking style. The high E is never played. Instead, the C (played at the B-string) is played continually throughout the whole song. The chords might look a bit scary, but just take a normal C chord. C/B means that same chords, but only a B in the bass. Just lower the bass note of the normal C one fret lower and there you have the C/B. All chords follow that same principle. Just as you make sure that you continuously play the C note on the second string, first fret. When you look at the chords, you can see a bassline walking from C - B - F - G and back to C. This bass? is played solely on the fifth (A) and sixth (E) string. Only in the chorus the fourth string(D) is used in C/F* , C/E chords. (C/F* has an * because this chord played with a different bass note compared to the ?normal?
