Ani Difranco Gravel Little Plastic Castles Standard tuning Song is basically 3 open chords with a lot of partial chords and hammer-ons and her signature staccato style. Sounds a lot harder than it is. Listen to the song to get the feel for the really fast chord strums and the hammer-ons. I figured this out from a combination of YouTube videos and listening to the song. I play it this way live. Hard to find Ani tabs so I wrote out this one for the Ani fans out there.
